This fiesta is an opportunity to discover and taste many of the region’s typical products, in particular cold meats, accompanied by “vino dulce” or “vino seco”.
The day is also an opportunity to discover traditional folklore: the verdiales. This is an ancestral type of fandango typical of Axarquia and the Montes de Málaga. I actually discovered the verdiales at this fiesta.
