Celebrations nearby the sea
This party will also take place in the villages of the Costa del Sol coastline. A broad Carnival program has been prepared in Marbella, whose main attraction will be the great final of the 25th Concurso de Agrupaciones Carnavalescas (Carnival Groups Prize), on February 16th. And at the other coast corner, in Nerja, the election of the Rey Momo and the Ninfas of the Carnival is celebrated every year. This is one of the most exciting moments of this party.
Let’s make this party in the inner province
In the inner Málaga region, people celebrate this party in different ways. For example, in Ronda, the Carnival starts with a migas tasting, while in Humilladero, every year is performed the Chuchete de los Botijos, a game which is about the earthenware pitcher throw among the locals, dressed up, in which they must avoid the pot to fall down.
