There is no better way to get to know the Andalucian's than through their many and fascinating feast days. Over 3,000 fiestas are celebrated every year in Costa del Sol! Whatever the reason behind the event, be it religious or otherwise, the end results is always the same - lots of music and dancing, drinking and eating and general fun.

 
Every village, has its own patron saint and yearly procession, no matter how small the town, it holds at least one fiesta a year.

There will be a local bank holiday and celebrations on the day of the patron saint of the town according to the catholic calendar

The summer annual fair originated in the middle ages, and was the principal means of interchange of local products within the kingdom.

The 'day fair' takes place it the streets of the town itself. Streets are closed to traffic, businesses close for the week. Tables and chairs are set up and the bars serve food and drink in the street, and music plays from every corner. People of all ages sing and dance. Visitors are always welcome.
