Carnival in Fuengirola in 2024 will be celebrated from February 10 to 13, with music, parties and a make-up workshop. Right after Carnival, though, Fuengirola has prepared a full week of programs dedicated to love ❤️. The programs for Carnival and Valentine’s Day actually overlap a little bit, so to make things easier, I’ve joined and translated both in this post.
As usual, you can check the original programs for Carnival and Valentines Day in the links, that will take you to the respective Ayuntamiento de Fuengirola’s page. I’ve also marked the directions to the venue of each event the first time each venue appears. And don’t forget to bookmark this post, so you can come back to check what’s on each day! 😉
