Nerja Feria October (ends second Sat in Oct)
Wed 8th to Sun 12th Oct 2008

Currently held behind C/Carabeo on a large piece of "empty" land.
Originally the Ferias were Romeria's, a sort of horse market that small towns and villages held to attract people from other areas to visit. A good chance for boys to meet girls and vice a versa. (new blood into the community)

The same happens now but with a much more party atmosphere, and dancing and drinking until very late. Live music, bands and entertainment in very large tents (casitas) Lots of bars and take-away places but now more cheap tacky stalls with the reverse auction stalls too.

It always rains during the Feria in Nerja , usually on the first night!
Always extremely noisy and I always feel sorry for the holiday makers who are staying within a mile of the Feria.

The first 9 photographs were taken in 2007

These first 6 pics were taken by Tony and Lin Hughes from The Wirral
