Help to celebrate
Spanish saint at religious festival
Marbella provides
a day of music and lively celebrations in June as it commemorates its patron
saint San Bernabe.
As part of the
Feria de San Bernabe, an image of the saint is paraded through the main streets
of the town centre, as well as equestrian displays and music.
The Saint is supposed
to have given money to Apostles for them to give to the poor, according to biblical
legend.
Marquees are also
set up for people to socialise in and taste typical Andalusian dishes including
fried fish and Parma Ham.
After the parade,
the party goes on until dawn.
Taking place on
June 11, the event is free to watch.
