Sabor a Málaga Food Fair Lands in La Cala de Mijas

By Costa del Sol News 23 September 2026 1 min read

Artisan food stalls and live culinary showcases arrive at the La Cala boulevard this weekend for the eighth annual regional fair.

Food lovers across the Western Costa del Sol are in for a culinary treat this weekend as the province's celebrated gastronomic roadshow rolls into town. Beginning this Friday 25 September and running through until Sunday 27 September, the eighth annual Sabor a Málaga fair will pitch its tents directly on the boulevard in La Cala de Mijas.

Direct from Farm to Table

The three-day showcase serves as a crucial platform for independent growers, family-run vineyards, and artisan food producers hailing from across the inland villages and coastal plains of Málaga province. Visitors wandering through the market can sample and purchase regional delicacies that seldom reach commercial supermarket shelves, including cold-pressed extra virgin olive oils, cured mountain cheeses, mountain honeys, local wines, and freshly baked sourdough breads.

Live Tastings and Workshops

Beyond market stalls, the open-air festival features live cooking demonstrations, pairing masterclasses, and chef presentations celebrating traditional Andalusian gastronomy. These public sessions allow British residents, expats, and visiting tourists to interact directly with regional producers, discovering the unique stories and artisanal production methods behind Andalusian pantry staples.

Weekend Details for Visitors

The fair opens its doors along the central boulevard from midday on Friday, offering free admission to all visitors throughout the weekend. Positioned steps from local transport links and beachfront dining, the market makes a compelling weekend excursion for residents looking to stock their larders with premium local produce while soaking in the relaxed coastal ambience.
