Malaga Fiesta de los Pandiales 28th December In the hills above Malaga City, another wild and wonderful music party day for the thousands who gather on the hills above Malaga, at La Venta de San Cayetano in Puerto de la Torre, to enjoy the Fiesta de los Pandiales. From noon onwards plenty of Malaga wine is consumed as bands known as "Pandas" compete with one another, wearing colourful hats adorned with paper flowers, beads and ribbons and playing on a weird selection of tambourines, cymbals, guitars and fiddles. The Verdiales competition is part of Malaga’s ancient culture and goes back to the time of the Moors in Andalusia, though it is likely that the original fiesta first appeared in pagan pre Roman times.
