For the 16th year, our friends at Goldsoul – well-established UK Soul event promoters – are coming back for a fun week of the best tunes, lots of dancing and, of course, sunshine!!!
This year’s ‘Costa del Soul’ event promises to be the best yet. It runs from Friday 4th October to Friday 11th October and featuring some of the top DJ’s from the UK playing the most fantastic Soul Music Tunes throughout the day.
Soul music lovers can enjoy their daily dose of Classic Soul tunes by the hotel’s poolside Kanaloa terrace whilst enjoying a cool jug of Sangria and working on their tans!
After a hard day by the pool, the fun continues in the Panorama Bar with some laid-back soul from 6 to 9 pm. This includes the ever-popular happy hour and the chance to catch up and watch the latest live Premiership or Champions League football matches.
Next Friday 27th September 2024 is World Tourism Day and to celebrate this special occasion, Malaga Town Hall, in conjunction with the city’s main museums and monuments, has prepared a special events programme.
This initiative – promoted by the World Tourism Organisation (UNWTO) – aims to raise awareness of the important impact tourism has on countries and communities around the world; socially, culturally, politically and economically. This year’s event goes under the following slogan: Tourism and Peace.
On the 6th and 7th September – the picturesque white village of Guaro celebrates the 26th edition of its famous ‘Luna Mora’ Festival.
As has been the case since before the pandemic, festivities have been reduced to two days (It’s used to be four). However, they’ve still managed to put together an impressive programme of events with activities and entertainment for all the family.
Throughout the weekend, the village becomes a meeting point for traditional Andalusí music and culture. The streets come alive in the evenings with the stunning illumination of 20,000 candles strategically positioned to create a unique and magical ambience. Visitors will also be able to enjoy the traditional Arab artisan market, workshops (Henna and belly dancing), street performers, storytelling and mouth-watering gastronomy.
From Thursday 29th August to Sunday 1st September 2024, Benalmádena Pueblo (the old town) will host the latest edition of its Arabian Market (Zoco), an event which once again returns to the town’s summer cultural programme.
The Arabian Market will be larger this year, running from Calle Real to Plaza del Aguacil. Aimed to promote the town’s beauty and charm, the town hall hopes this unique event will once again attract tourists from all over the Coast.
Next weekend sees the start of the Costa del Sol’s largest and most popular fair, the Malaga Fair or Feria de Málaga as it’s referred to here!
If you haven’t been before, we highly recommend you do so! Get ready for 8 days of fun and entertainment as the city welcomes thousands of visitors from all over Spain for, what has become, the most popular summer fair in Andalucía and one of the most popular festivities in Spain.
The fair starts on Friday 16th August with a Historical Parade through the streets of the old town at 8:00pm. At 11:50pm you’ll be able to enjoy a special Drone light show which, after the success of last year’s unique show, promises to be even more spectacular with over 200 drones flying at the same time through the Malaga skies.
From midnight, you get to watch the spectacular pyro-musical and fireworks display from the cruise terminal access area in Malaga Port. Lasting 20 minutes and using more than 500 kilos of gunpowder, it’s a show you won’t want to miss!
The fair’s official opening takes place on Saturday 17th August in the same location as last year; the Cortijo de Torres fairground. Local musician Juan Gómez- El Kanka will conduct the traditional ‘Pregon’ (opening speech) before the switching on of the fair lights.
Next week (from the 14th to the 18th August) is ‘Feria’ week here in Benalmadena with the ‘Pueblo’ (Town) celebrating festivities in honour of their patron, the Virgen de la Cruz.
Obviously, this is a very traditional event and many of the activities and events organised for the week may not appeal to many of our guests; however, we’ve put together a short list of – what we feel are – some of the highlights of the fair and that you might enjoy. Here goes…
