Fiestas and Events in August
Fiestas and Events for August 2008

 9th - 15th August, Almunecar Annual Fair (Feria)

From Saturday August 9 until Friday 15 (a local holiday) there are a range of activities, events, concerts and shows that not only take place around the town and beaches but at night centres in the main Feria ground where the Friday market is usually held. This year many of the events are free to enter, and if you have never been it is well worth the experience. Not only is there all the fun of traditional fairground attractions but there are various casetas to see, eat and drink in! Often until the very early hours of the next morning.

  Las Alpujarras   
Known as the 
Spanish Riviera, 
you'd be hard 
pressed to find
a more desirable
vacation experience 
than in the Costa 
Tropical de Granada. 
With its lush 
gardens, beautiful
coastline, and 
gorgeous mountains, 
you'll fall in love. 
When you visit 
again, book with
Mediterranean rentals  
in the area.  You´ll 
experience the
best of resort 
accommodation
by staying in a
Spanish timeshare 
without any 
of the commitment
of second
home ownership.
