Torrox Romeria San Antonio 2026: Three days of music, paella and fireworks for all ages

Torrox residents are currently looking forward to the Romeria de San Antonio from June 12 to 14 packed with cultural, musical, equestrian and religious activities that celebrate local traditions.

Community leaders value local involvement

Mayor Oscar Medina values the role of neighbours and associations in making each Romeria edition possible. The town hall is providing logistics and lighting to support what ranks as one of the most special events in Malaga province. Medina is encouraging everyone to join in with activities such as hot chocolate serving, horseback ribbon race, rociera mass, popular paella and equestrian acts. Councillor Salvador Escudero says that this 49th edition, coming one year ahead of the 50th anniversary, makes this a special event everyone will want to be a part of. The festival is organised with neighbours and associations in a rewarding collaboration. Council is also praising the work to keep the romeria essence and is focusing on the Saturday family water party to involve more children and families.
