Fuengirola's Feria Internacional de los Países, in pictures

One of the most eagerly awaited festivals on the coast, the Feria Internacional de los Países in Fuengirola (formerly Feria de los Pueblos), a six-day multicultural extravaganza is now in full swing on the town's fairground and runs until Monday 1 May.

During this popular gathering, which began in 1994, visitors will be able to immerse themselves in the traditions and culture of the 32 countries participating, such as the UK, Germany, Australia, Spain, Argentina, Colombia, Japan and Venezuela, among others.

Each of the booths on the fairground, which will open between 1pm and 4am, will offer live shows and concerts, along with menus representing their typical cuisine and drinks.

All styles of music and dance will be presented, including flamenco, Argentine tango, Indian folk, jazz, pop and reggae.

Fuengirola boasts more than 130 different nationalities among its community, many of which will be represented during the traditional parade that will leave Plaza de Eapaña at 11.30am on Saturday 29 April. More than 1,000 people are expected to take part in the colourful cavalcade, most of who will be dressed in their national costume.
