The Feria de Málaga or Malaga Fair, a nine-day festival in Malaga held in August, celebrates the city's capture by the Catholic Monarchs in 1487. Known for its lively atmosphere, traditions, and cuisine, the fair attracts visitors from around the world. Bullfighting, a key highlight, remains a cultural tradition in Spain, though it has sparked debate and drawn complaints from animal rights organizations and activists concerned about the treatment of bulls.
