In the daytime, you can also have fun at the fairground in Cortijo de Torres, which welcomes thousands of Malagueños and out-of-towners every year. For an unforgettable Málaga Fair experience, go to the stalls and try their food and drink as you enjoy their live music and their various activities.

One of the fairground highlights is the horse and carriage parade – a colourful event, deeply rooted in Málaga’s traditions.

When the sun goes down, the lights are turned on, and the façade adds colour and excitement to the fairground at night: stalls, children’s rides, concerts, shows and all kinds of activities. There is also a beauty pageant whose winners are named Fair Queen and King.

The stalls, open to all and sundry, offer the best music in the greatest atmosphere – from traditional Andalusian music like flamenco, malagueñas and verdiales to contemporary sounds. In addition, concerts by leading Spanish musical artists are staged at the Cortijo de Torres Municipal Auditorium.

In the vicinity there is a huge parking area, accommodating more than 15,000 vehicles. The fairground, covering 500,000 square metres, offers adequate emergency and medical services to the thousands of visitors it welcomes every day.

There is room for the little ones too at the Cortijo de Torres Fairground. The children’s special area includes rides – complete with a Ferris wheel –, raffle stands and candy parlours.

Children’s Day

On the day after the fair – this year, 20 August –, Málaga celebrates Children’s Day. The rides at the fairground, which locals call “cacharritos” are still open for everyone to have fun at special prices.
