Mule Festival 2023 in Arenas
Arenas organizes the Mule Fair (Feria de la Mula), mid-October
The Arenas Mule Fair will be held on 12, 13 and 14 October 2023.
The mule in the province of Malaga
Was absolutely essential for man for his tasks in the mountains as for agricultural crops, and in particular during the harvest.
Even today, the culture of the vine is done, in Axarquia Costa del Sol , on slopes of mountains inclined up to 60%, and does not allow the use of mechanical devices. This feria pays homage to this animal which finally allowed man to cultivate and live in these mountains.
Where does this animal, the mule come from?
The mule is the result of the cross between a donkey and a mare. Man has made these crosses since antiquity. It was used militarily especially to transport men and equipment in mountainous terrain as well as in the fields until the mechanization of agriculture.
From this cross, the mule, a hybrid animal, has the power of a horse and the robustness of a donkey.
