Costa del Sol information: MALAGA FIESTAS

The festive calendar begins in Malaga with numerous cultural activities which came under the heading of Winter Fiestas. These include the Carnival and then carry on into March, with the Burial of the Anchovy and bonfires on the Malagueta beach.

EASTER WEEK AND THE FILM FESTNAL
During the long awaited Easter Week there are beautiful processions and parades which pass through the monumental centre. The city is at is best to receive the solemn effigies of El Cautivo, the Cristo de la Buena Muerte, accompanied by the Legion which lands in the Port, and Nuestro Padre Jesus "El Rico", an effigy of Christ which according to tradition, grants the right for an inmate to be released from prison every year. The Malaga Film Festival in April inaugurates activities in the Cervantes Theatre and is followed by a full calendar of prestigious events throughout the year, such as the City Philharmonic Orchestra season, the Musica del Paraiso Festival, and the Jazz Festival.

FERIA DE MALAGA AND VERDIALES
The May Crosses, Corpus Christi, and the Night of San Juan are all festivities which mark the transition from Spring to Summer, and above all draw us nearer to the Feria of Malaga, in August which includes a floral tribute to the Patron Saint in the Sanctuary of Nuestra Señora de la Victoria. As well as the so-called daytime Feria, which takes place in the old centre, with parades of horses and coaches, there is also a bullfighting season with corridas in La Malagueta and the night-time Feria at the Real Cortijo de Torres. The Fiesta Mayor de Verdiales, held on the Day of Los santos Inocentes (the Spanish equivalent of April's fool day) in the Port Tower, at the Venta San Cayetano, marks the end of a week during which groups of verdiales parade around the city singing traditional songs. At the end of the week, there is a big event in which the
groups compete against each other.
