October 9 to 12 Annual fair in Caravaca de la Cruz 2025

Live music, a fairground, gastronomic events, an antiques market, motor vehicle displays and a children's fairground in Caravaca

The city of Caravaca de la Cruz offers a wide range of activities over the weekend of October 9 to 12 as it enjoys its annual Feria, an event which is traditionally associated with cattle farming and agriculture and to which records first allude in 1573, but which has grown to encompass gastronomy, a fairground, an antiques market and various live music shows.

The gastronomy event is a chance for local restaurants to show off their finest dishes in the Paseo de la Corredera, while the children’s fairground is being held at the Francisco Fernández Torralba sports complex from Thursday October 9 until the end of the weekend of the National Day of Spain, which falls on Sunday October 12.

Meanwhile, throughout the weekend much of the focus is on motor vehicles, many of them agricultural but with a whole range of 20 exhibitors and more than 400 vehicles on display.
