The bonfires of San Juan barely have time to cool before Arroyo de la Miel — the lively inland heart of Benalmádena — rolls straight into its annual feria. Running from the night of 24 June, it's a classic Andalusian town fair: casetas serving food and drink, a fairground for the kids, flamenco and live music into the small hours, and a closing fireworks display.

What to expect. A friendlier, more local affair than the giant Feria de Málaga, but with the same warm late-night energy. The fairground and casetas cluster around the Recinto Ferial, an easy walk from the centre of Arroyo de la Miel.

Practical bit. Benalmádena strings out along the coast from the marina up to Arroyo de la Miel and Benalmádena Pueblo, with the Teleférico cable car and Selwo Marina nearby. A hire car makes it simple to combine the fair with the rest of the resort and the wider Costa del Sol — and to get home after the music stops.
