Marbella Feria Information Centre
La Feria de San Bernabe at Marbella. This colourful event is a riotous combination of flamenco music, parades of horsemen and women, typical dances of Andalusia, and pop music for the young.
The locals set up marquees known as casetas, people socialise, eat typical Andalusian dishes such as pescaito frito, or fried fish and Parma ham, and party until dawn.
Strangers shake hands to show their friendship and respect, toast each other with a glass of wine, and continue celebrating far into the night.
