From 25th to 27th September, the boulevard in La Cala de Mijas will host the ninth and final event of the season for the regional ‘Sabor a Málaga’ fair. On this occasion, 36 producers, wineries and cooperatives from 20 municipalities in Málaga, including Mijas, will be taking part, giving locals and visitors the chance to sample and purchase more than 350 products bearing the authentic 100% Málaga label. 

This was announced on Wednesday 23rd by the mayoress of Mijas, Ana Mata (PP), and the director of Sabor a Málaga, Leonor García-Agua, during the event’s presentation. The mayoress highlighted the municipality’s leading role in the province’s agri-food production sector, owing both to its coastal and inland terrain and to its exceptional location and potential for tourism.

“Mijas is the perfect showcase for highlighting the quality and exceptional nature of our province’s locally sourced produce. Just like last year, I am convinced that this edition of Sabor a Málaga will be a resounding success”, said the mayoress, recalling that, in 2025, “this event held in Mijas generated a turnover of 120,000 euros”.

 

For her part, García-Agua noted that over the course of three days, “as well as being able to purchase the artisanal products made by our producers, visitors will be able to enjoy a varied programme featuring more than fifteen activities for the whole family”. Highlights of the programme include wine and cheese tastings, cocktail-making workshops, gourmet sandwiches, a masterclass led by chef Juan Carmona, as well as children’s activities, music and dance.

This event combines the promotion of local produce, the celebration of  Málaga’s gastronomic culture and family leisure as  an essential strategy for economic recovery and job creation in key sectors for our province, such as the agri-food and hospitality industries.
