Among the many events to be enjoyed in Marbella, the following merit special attention:
The romería or procession to Cruz de Juanar on May 1st, The festivals of the patron Saint Bernabé, on June 11th and of San Pedro de Alcántara on October 19th, typically Andalusian affairs with their colour and folklore.
Another festivity of great interest and one which has successfully preserved its popular, traditional flavour is Virgen del Carmen, which takes place on July 16th and features a procession down to the sea.
