Beer festivals in Spain

Spain is more renowned for its wine than it’s beers, although tourists will be well familiar with the Spanish brewed San Miguel and possible Damm beers. Spain does also have the occasional beer festival which may be worth a visit.

Calpe on the Costa Blanca is the venue for the Spanish Oktoberfest beer festival, while Madrid hosts an annual beer festival at the bullring at the end of October/beginning of November each year. Fuengirola, about 20-30 minutes drive from Malaga is also the location for a beer festival at Calle Tartesios in Late July.
