3 Reasons you should've gone to the fair

In this post, I wanted to showcase some of the brilliant moments of the Fuengirola International Fair 2019, as captured by our resident photographer Jorge.

I think it's fair to say a great time was had by all, the weather was great and the overall atmosphere was amazing. Beers, wines and cocktails from all over the world flowed as freely as plates of each country's gastronomical delicacies were handed over the counter, while international folk and popular music provided the soundtrack to the five-day event which finished last Sunday.

1. The fun of the fair
