Here is a guide to the traditional festival that take place in Malaga city each year. We also link to a monthly What's On! guide for Malaga city.
Located in the southwest part of Malaga province, the Sierra Bermeja is a mountain range with an average height of 1,000m (its highest point being 1,450m), covering 1,236ha.
