Event Overview: Feria de los Pueblos
The International Fair of Peoples (Feria de los Pueblos) in Fuengirola is a massive cultural celebration that transforms the local Recinto Ferial into international pop-up pavilions. Over a million visitors attend to enjoy global food, spectacular music, and vibrant atmosphere in just four days.
How to Get There: Local Transport Options
🚆 By Train (Renfe Cercanías)
Marbella does not currently have a direct train connection to Malaga Airport or the city center. The C1 Cercanías coastal rail line terminates in Fuengirola, meaning travelers coming by train from Malaga must alight there and transfer to a bus for the remaining 30km journey to Marbella.
🚌 By Intercity Bus (Avanza / ALSA)
Avanza bus operates a direct express service from Malaga Airport to Marbella Bus Station (taking roughly 45 minutes). From the Marbella central bus station, you must take a taxi or a local shuttle bus (when available) up the mountain to the Starlite quarry.
During the Feria de los Pueblos, arriving at Fuengirola station with heavy luggage puts you squarely in the middle of severe crowd congestion. Local public taxis evaporate entirely from the ranks. Pre-booking a private, chauffeured transfer bypasses the overwhelming train stations and drops you smoothly at your hotel door.
