La Quema de Algarrobo

Algarrobo’s three-day fiesta marks the town’s 1811 resistance against Napoleon’s forces. Parades wind through the old town, re-enactments stage the historical events, horses and riders take centre stage, and local restaurants serve regional dishes throughout. A genuine historical commemoration embedded in the community calendar — worth the detour if you’re exploring the Axarquía.
