July is one of the liveliest months on the Costa del Sol — and for good reason. With long sunny days, warm evenings, and a festive Mediterranean spirit in the air, Málaga, Torremolinos, Benalmádena, and Fuengirola come alive with events that showcase the very best of Andalusian summer. Whether you're into music, food, local culture, or family fun, there's something happening almost every day.

Here’s your curated guide to the best events in July 2025 across these coastal hotspots.

Málaga: Music, Art & Summer Vibes

La Noche en Blanco (The White Night)
Saturday, July 5, Various venues across Málaga
This cultural night is a local favourite. Museums, galleries, and historical sites stay open late — many offering free entry — while the streets fill with music, dance, art installations, and performances. Expect live flamenco, classical guitar concerts, and street art all in one night.

Málaga Jazz Festival – Summer Edition
Ongoing throughout July, Teatro Cervantes + open-air venues
Smooth sounds under warm skies — this mini summer edition of the famous jazz festival features international and local artists playing in intimate venues and open-air terraces around the city.

Torremolinos: Pride, Beach Parties & Flamenco

Torremolinos Summer Pride Celebration
Friday–Sunday, July 11–13, Plaza La Nogalera & Playamar Beach
While the main Pride event is in June, Torremolinos keeps the party going with July’s beachside celebration. Expect DJs, drag shows, beach parties, and a festive, inclusive atmosphere that lights up the whole town.

Flamenco Nights at Casa de los Navajas
Every Wednesday & Saturday in July, Casa de los Navajas (Free entry)
Step into an elegant 1920s mansion and experience authentic flamenco performances with stunning sea views. A cultural must-see and a perfect way to connect with Andalusian tradition.

Benalmádena: Festivals, Fireworks & Family Fun

Benalmádena Marina Festival
July 18–21, Puerto Marina
Live music, street food stalls, local craft markets, and nightly fireworks over the water. This family-friendly event brings a relaxed summer buzz to the iconic marina — perfect for an evening stroll and a mojito.

Cinema Under the Stars
Every Thursday in July, Parque de la Paloma
Bring a blanket and enjoy classic and family-friendly films under the night sky in this lush park setting. Films are usually in Spanish with some international titles in English — a great low-key local experience.

Fuengirola: Feria Time & Beachside Music

Feria de Los Boliches
July 10–16, Recinto Ferial, Los Boliches
This local summer fair celebrates the neighbourhood’s patron saint with fairground rides, live music, flamenco shows, and traditional food stalls. It's smaller than the August Feria but full of charm and great for families and couples alike.
