June is around the corner and the temperatures are rising in Andalusia. A new month means a new line up of celebrations you cannot miss on your trip to the South of Spain.
The Feria madness continues in June in Marbella from June 6th until the 12th, celebrating Feria de San Bernabe. Before the Feria starts off, there’s a King and Queen contest in the weekend prior to it. Sunday at midnight the fireworks go off, which means the Feria can start.
Like other Feria’s you can enjoy the beautifully decorated horse carriages and well-dressed women during the day and some great food and dancing when the sun goes down. However, this particular Feria has two Feria grounds, separating the day and night. During the day the old town is the place to be, after that the day turns into the night near the Cañada shopping centre.
Flamenco lovers, pay attention! On the 18th of June it is very important to be in Cordoba for a night you will never forget. On this day ‘noche blanca’ gets celebrated, which means Flamenco performances ALL night long in the most beautiful places of Cordoba featuring the Great Mosque and the Alcazar. On these beautiful locations, you will get to enjoy acts of Spanish flamenco artists, as well as Portuguese an Japanese performers, until the sun comes up. WARNING: after this night you will likely feel the urge to sign up for classes when you come back home.
To end off, we have something special for you: On the 24th of June, many seaside villages celebrate Noche de San Juan, a really unique celebration which is usually held on the beach. The beach gets filled with tons of bonfires that go along with drinks, food and friends. Definitely a really cosy celebration which is especially breath-taking if you go and take a look at it from afar.
This night you can best find yourself in one of the following places: Alfarnate, Algatocín, Alhaurín de la Torre, Archidona, Benalmádena, Cártama, Casabermeja, Colmenar, Cuevas Bajas, Cútar, Fuengirola, Genalguacil, Humilladero, Jubrique or Nerja.
We are already getting excited for next month, we hope you are too!
