Late September is one big pilgrimage, of San Juan, with some more than 200,000 participants this is the second largest in Andalusia. In September a few days after starts the Feria de San Miguel, Fair of San Miguel, the patron saint of the city.
The food in Torremolinos is typical for the region. There are many restaurants where you can get the international cuisines. But also typical Costa del Sol food can be found in many places in Torremolins. Typical Costa del Sol is pescaíto frito, this is small fried fish, and the cold soup gazpacho.
