Festivals

In Archidona, as in every town throughout Andalucia and Spain there are feria’s or fairs / festivals throughout the year. The summer annual feria originated in the middle ages, and was the principal means of interchange of local products within the kingdom.

In Archidona these include Carnavales (Carnival in February), Semana Santa, one of the most spectacular Easter celebrations in Andalucía that lasts a full two weeks, and a traditional Feria in August and The Virgin of Grace is celebrated every September.
