'Pescaíto' Day in La Carihuela: A lot of local flavour

The town of Torremolinos is celebrating the 20th edition of this food fiesta.



Born as a day to celebrate the richness and strong character of local food, the 'Día del Pescaíto' (Fried Fish Day) has become one of the most popular tourist attractions in Torremolinos. Last year, 35,000 people got together in the district of La Carihuela on this day. The organisers expect this 20th edition to draw even more visitors on 14 June.

Being a coastal district, La Carihuela is the ideal place to pay homage to 'pescaíto' (literally, 'little fish'), the hallmark of the whole area from El Saltillo to El Bajondillo, where all the establishments involved in this event are located.

Tasting venues will have a special role on the 'Pescaíto' Day, but they won't be the only activity: Young women in flounced dresses will present local villagers and out-of-town visitors with flowers, and there'll be Andalusian dance performances by local dance students.



Moreover, the 'Pescaíto' Day will also attract important figures in the town, who'll be welcomed by the Traders and Shopkeepers' Association of La Carihuela-Montemar. In sum, the day promises a lot of local flavour and colour.
