Collectible Painting 6 – Feria de Agosto

About

The Feria de Agosto (August Fair) takes place every August in the city of Málaga, Andalusia, Spain. The festival commemorates the taking of the city by the Catholic Monarchs five years before the completion of the Reconquista, at which time Málaga was incorporated into the Crown of Castile. The Catholic Monarchs gave the city the Virgen de la Victoria (Virgin of Victory). The fair today has two entertainment zones which are active during the day and night respectively.

During the Fair, the streets of the city center are adorned with paper lanterns and floral displays. Booths are erected with performances, music and dance (especially verdiales, the most characteristic local variant of flamenco), and decked out horses and carriages attempting to make their way through it all. The sounds of flamenco and copla are everywhere, along with less traditional music.
