The vibrant autumn season is upon us, and with it comes the much-anticipated Autumn Fair in the capital of La Alpujarra, Berja.
Known for its deep-rooted traditions and festive spirit, this year’s fair promises to be a wonderful celebration of the region’s culture, running from October 28 to November 1.
Berja s five-day traditional fair
Berja’s Autumn Fair has something for everyone, with a packed programme of events designed to bring together the whole community. This fair, with its lively parades, food, markets, and traditional music, is set to create a vibrant atmosphere for visitors of all ages. The historic town will host a variety of activities, including live concerts, cultural exhibitions, and artisan markets that showcase the best of local craftsmanship.
One of the standout events is the fair’s opening parade, which will fill the streets with colour and shouts of olé! as the town welcomes both locals and visitors to join in the festivities. Additionally, food lovers will have the chance to indulge in traditional Alpujarra cuisine, from hearty stews to sweet treats, offering an authentic taste of the region.
With its blend of history, entertainment, and community spirit, the Autumn Fair in Berja is a lovely way to slowly welcome in the close of the year and embrace the charm of La Alpujarra.
