GET ready for two unforgettable summer nights on Fuengirola’s shores!

The council is teaming up with beach bar owners to throw two exciting ‘Noches al Relente’ events.

gust 2 at Paseo Las Palmeras with ‘Diabolo Classic Metal’ by the acclaimed Hermanos Inconfundibles, the winners of the ‘Fetén’ 2019 Award for Best Street Show.

The festival will conclude the following weekend with two more performances the evening was the coronation ceremony, where the Fair Queens, Ladies, Miss Congeniality, the Little King and Queen, and the charming Míster and Queen from the Nueva Andalucía Community Centre were crowned as they took to the stage in their regal splendour.

Nueva Andalucia’s fair lasted over the weekend with hundreds of locals showing up in traditional flamenco dress and enjoying food, music and activities at the joy ­ filled community celebration.

On Saturday, July 28 and Saturday August 25, chiringuitos along the coast will keep the music playing until 2am. Local councillor José Sánchez said the special permit allows bars to “offer nightlife alternatives beyond the daytime beach scene.”
