Fiestas in Fuengirola, Costa del Sol

The fiestas in Fuengirola begin with Semana Santa (Easter Week). This is the major celebration in the whole of Spain. The people of Fuengirola begin celebrating on Midsummer's Eve (The Feast of St. John), around the 23rd or 24th of June. During the Summer Solstice, the popular 'juas' (figurines made of paper or rags) are burnt in representation of getting rid of everything bad in our lives. Then in July, Fuengirola gives homage to the Virgin of Carmen, patron saint of sailors and fishermen. In accordance with tradition, the Virgin is carried by sailors and fishermen to their vessels and taken to sea and later followed by a procession through Los Boliches, Fuengirola's fishing area.

   
During the summer, the town is alive with entertainment, especially for the children. The younger generation have their own festival called 'La Noche Rosa' (The Pink Night). This music festival, which has been held for over ten years, brings together many of the nation's best stars of modern music.

October is the month of the great Festival (feria). The festival is in honour of the Virgin of the Rosary and is one of the most important in Andalucia. As well as a range of equestrian events, there are great bullfighting events and carriage exhibitions. Day and night are great displays of Andalucian song and dance. The night comes alive with the 'casetas' or stalls on the fair ground. Local groups display their hospitality to local residents and visitors alike. During this 'Feria del Rosario' the star is undoubtedly the horse. The streets of Fuengirola provide unique displays.
