The schedule of acts of worship dedicated to the Virgen de la Peña continues, with the Mijas Fair 2026 set to begin in just a few days’ time. Scheduled religious events include the novena in honour of the patron saint, running until 7th September, which includes the rosary, a sung Mass and a floral offering, every afternoon from 19:30 at the Church of the Inmaculada Concepción.
On Sunday 6th September, the presentation of children to the Virgen de La Peña will take place at 18:30, once again at the parish church. Later that evening will come one of the main events leading up to the Mijas Fair: the opening address for the festivities, delivered by Mijas-born journalist Mari Carmen Jaime Marmolejo. The event will take place at the Miguel González Berral Municipal Auditorium at 21:00 and will also feature a performance by the dance group from Reme Fernández’s school.
