‘Virgen del Carmen’ Celebrations this Weekend in Benalmadena

Virgen del Carmen Celebrations in Benalmadena

The ‘Virgen del Carmen‘ celebrations take place in Benalmadena Marina this weekend (from Saturday).

The Benalmadena town hall has prepared various events which will take place on Saturday 13th, Sunday 14th, Monday 15th, and Tuesday 16th July,  including a wonderful procession through the streets of Benalmádena Costa in which the fishermen will carry their ‘Stella Maris’ to the Marina. She’ll be lifted aboard a boat and paraded along the Benalmadena coastline (weather permitting).

If you’ve got some good binoculars, a great place to watch this is from the terrace in our Panorama Bar here at Sunset Beach Club or from the promenade just in front of the hotel. (more…)

Concert season is in full swing on the Costa del Sol.

Fuengirola’s Feria Internacional de los Paises: 5 Days of Culture, Music and Gastronomy

Fuengirola’s main fairground is ready to host the ever-popular ‘Feria Internacional de los Paises’ (International People’s Fair), a multicultural event where visitors can experience the rich cultural diversity the city has to offer.

Just a quick heads up… a few years ago the fair changed its name from ‘Feria Internacional de los Pueblos’ to ‘Feria Internacional de los Paises’ (International Countries Fair). That being said, the logo and unifying spirit of the fair remains the same.

This year the Fair will last 5 days from Wednesday 1st May to Sunday 5th May 2024.
