The Feria de Las Lagunas, the central part of Mijas, will be celebrated from June 26 to June 30 in 2024. The Town Hall has prepared a series of shows that will take place in the Recinto Ferial on those days. The whole town will dance for days! There will also be a funfair and other surprise; come check up close. 😉
Table of Contents
You can find the original program in full, in Spanish, in the Ayuntamiento de Mijas page. I have included here, below, all the pages that have activities; the other pages are mostly ads, but there are also pictures of previous fairs. You’ll see the translation below, as well as locations and how to get there. Don’t forget to bookmark this post so you can access it easily during the days of the Feria. 😉 Enjoy!
Recinto Ferial and how to get there
The Recinto Ferial (fairgrounds) of Las Lagunas is easy to reach, as Las Lagunas is the central part of Mijas, almost indistinguishable from the central part of Fuengirola. You can get there by walking 30 minutes from the Fuengirola Train Station. I’d recommend this method – reach Fuengirola by train (or by bus) then go walking – as on fair days driving is really difficult anywhere close to the fairgrounds.
Program of the Feria de Las Lagunas de Mijas
Typically, in a fair, there are several booths in the fairgrounds. Some belong to different associations of the town and others belong to the Town Hall itself; there can be different activities going on simultaneously in these different spaces. The program of the Las Lagunas de Mijas fair is divided by booths; mainly the Youth Booth and the Municipal Booth, which are both in the fairgrounds.
The program doesn’t mention the fairgrounds beyond the first day of the fair, but it is likely that the funfair will be happening there during all the days of the fair. Other locations are shown whenever mentioned.
