Festivals and Traditions This Week – Malaga and Costa del Sol – August 17-23 2026
Málaga Feria is already in full flow, but this week’s Festivals & Traditions guide looks beyond the headline and into the living traditions behind it.
We explore the equestrian programme at the Real de Cortijo de Torres, traditional Andalusian dress, carriage culture, side-saddle riding and the different Verdiales styles appearing through the Feria programme.
Then we head inland, where Cortes de la Frontera shows how Feria changes in a smaller mountain town, while Antequera brings its own traditions through food, traditional dress, equestrian culture and its historic bullring.
If Málaga Feria is new to you, listen to the separate Málaga Feria 2026 Special for the full first-timer guide to the centre, the Real, the casetas and how the celebration works.
