This year Malaga is running out of the August fair. The pandemic has forced the authorities to suspend it. Since its creation in 1887, on the occasion of the celebration of the IV centenary of the conquest of the city by the Catholic Monarchs, the event has become a milestone in the city’s festive calendar along with Easter and Carnival.

War conflicts, economic crisis and serious health problems have led to its suspension throughout history
