Fuengirola rounds off the Costa del Sol's fiesta calendar with the Feria del Rosario, honouring its patroness around the second week of October. It's a full Andalusian fair — casetas, flamenco, sevillanas, a feria de día in the centre and a night fair at the Recinto Ferial — with the bonus of mild autumn weather and far thinner crowds than the August ferias further along the coast.

What to expect. A proper week-long feria in a town that takes its celebrations seriously, but at a gentler, off-peak tempo. A good "what's still on after summer" option for late-season visitors.

Practical bit. Fuengirola is on the Cercanías train line from Málaga and the airport, which is handy for getting to town. For the feria ground and trips along the coast, though — or pairing the fair with Mijas Pueblo up the hill — a hire car remains the easiest way around.
