From now until October, the coast will supply a non-stop selection of city festivals. One of the largest of the lot is Marbella’s San Bernabé. Held from the June 7 until June 12, the Marbella Feria will begin each day in the Old Town, where bars spill into the streets and end each evening in a fairground on the east side of town, complete with free concerts and music until dawn. The drinks are cheap, the music’s free and the dancing will come at you from every direction—the Marbella Feria is not to be missed.

Misiana is another standout on the Tarifa hotel scene. It is not only one of the town’s more stylish (and affordable) places to bed down, but it’s also home to one of the wind-blown peninsula’s most popular bars. Closed for most of 2006 for a grand refurbishment, the hotel’s many rooms are brought to life with a range of color schemes as well as arts and crafts drawn from the town’s many shops and boutiques.

Misiana—now open for the summer months—is conveniently set in the heart of Tarifa’s church square. While a square-side room offers the best view, be prepared to deal with the dull roar of town’s activity if you end up with one. Breakfast is included and is served in the towering hotel’s ground-floor lounge. As night falls, the lounge turns into an ideal locale for a drink or people-watching.
