Rincon de la Victoria is throwing a three-day party to celebrate World Tourism Day.
And the good news is that everything’s on the house. From September 26 to 28, the seaside town in the Axarquia region will turn into a playground of history, music, and lots of beer.
The big highlight? Free entry to some of the town’s most striking heritage sites. On Saturday, September 27, visitors can step inside the famous Cueva del Tesoro, the only marine-formed cave in Europe open to the public. The same goes for the Roman Villa Antiopa, complete with stunning third-century mosaics. For the truly adventurous visitors, there’s even limited access to the prehistoric Cueva de la Victoria.
But it’s not just about history. The main square, Plaza Al-Andalus, will host an Oktoberfest bash with live music each night. There will be Queen tributes, rock bands, and plenty of cold beer from artisan breweries, plus food stalls ranging from German classics to Mexican street eats.
To make exploring easier, the town is rolling out 300 free rides on its tourist train, offering a scenic hour-long loop past beaches, cliffs, and monuments. And if you’re into gamified adventures, a free app will guide you on digital treasure hunts around town. Prizes are included.
Mayor Francisco Salado says the aim is to showcase the very best of Rincon de la Victoria. “It’s about culture, leisure, and gastronomy coming together in three unforgettable days,” he said.
