This is particularly due to the Christmas lights that illuminate every last corner of Calle Larios and the surrounding areas. This light show is accompanied by music in time with the switching on of the lights. The illuminations on Calle Larios are so renowned that M\u00e1laga has been named one of the 20 most beautiful cities in the world at Christmas by European Best Destinations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Carnival<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">After Christmas, the polvorones and the Rosc\u00f3n de Reyes, Carnival takes place in February and lasts just over a week. During this festival, a singing competition is held in which \u2018cuarteros\u2019, \u2018comparsas\u2019 and \u2018murgas\u2019 compete. The different groups in the competition choose a theme, create their own costumes and write their own lyrics to comment humorously on a topical issue. The festival culminates with the \u2018burial of the boquer\u00f3n\u2019 (a symbol of M\u00e1laga) on Malagueta beach.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Easter Week<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"463\" height=\"696\" src=\"https:\/\/lolitamalaga.es\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/tradiciones-malaga-semana-santa.jpg\" alt=\"Holy Week in M\u00e1laga\" class=\"wp-image-874\" srcset=\"https:\/\/lolitamalaga.es\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/tradiciones-malaga-semana-santa.jpg 463w, https:\/\/lolitamalaga.es\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/tradiciones-malaga-semana-santa-200x300.jpg 200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 463px) 100vw, 463px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Source: laopiniondemalaga.es<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Holy Week is one of the main festivals and traditions throughout the province. During this week, the people of M\u00e1laga and thousands of tourists take to the streets to watch the gigantic, imposing floats depicting saints, virgins and religious scenes, carried by the city\u2019s brotherhoods and confraternities. This festival takes place in virtually every town centre, but if at any point you find yourself lost, you simply need to follow the scent of incense, the sound of trumpets and the beat of the drums.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">M\u00e1laga Fair<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"730\" src=\"https:\/\/lolitamalaga.es\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/Feria-Malaga-Cartojal-1024x730.jpeg\" alt=\"Entrance to the M\u00e1laga Fair on Calle Larios\" class=\"wp-image-747\" srcset=\"https:\/\/lolitamalaga.es\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/Feria-Malaga-Cartojal-1024x730.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/lolitamalaga.es\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/Feria-Malaga-Cartojal-300x214.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/lolitamalaga.es\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/Feria-Malaga-Cartojal-768x548.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/lolitamalaga.es\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/Feria-Malaga-Cartojal.jpeg 1200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The M\u00e1laga Fair is the most eagerly awaited festival in the whole province. It is the only one in the whole country to be held at two different venues: the Historic Centre and El Real. During the day, locals and visitors from all over the world head to the centre of M\u00e1laga in search of the famous Cartojal wine, music, <mark style=\"background-color:rgba(0, 0, 0, 0)\" class=\"has-inline-color has-vivid-red-color\">singing<\/mark>(link to \u2018Cantes Andaluces\u2019), flamenco and buler\u00edas.<br>Once the daytime fair is over, the lucky few who manage to stick it out head over to the night-time fair.
