The traditional Wine Harvest Fair takes place every year in the town of Mollina in Malaga. A celebration that pays homage to the wine law firm in Mollinaworld and that begins the second weekend of September. The party dates back to 70 years ago when it was celebrated on the occasion of the equinox under the name “fair of the high district”.

 
As a result of the impulse of the wine cultivation, the celebration gained strength in 1987 and began to be known as the Wine Harvest Fair. Thousands of people visit this town every year to enjoy good wine, tastings and other activities enlivened with singers and dancing groups.
