Countdown to the Malaga Fair: accommodations for less than 100 euros per night

Less than a month before the start of the Feria de Málaga, finding accommodation for those dates is becoming complicated. Not only because of the festival itself and the fact that it occurs in the middle of summer, but also because the night before the official start of the Fair is a national holiday, August 15, the Feast of the Assumption. Thus, during the dates of this celebration, from the 16th to the 23rd of August, hotel reservations, room bookings, or hostel spots are quickly snapped up in the capital.

On platforms like Booking, they warn that over 90% of accommodations are not available during the first weekend of the Fair. The percentage is similar when searching for the last weekend, from August 22 to 24. The variety of options increases if you look for accommodations during weekdays, when occupancy is around 80% according to their website.

Among the most economical options for the weekends of the Fair are hostels, rooms with several bunk beds shared by groups, often of strangers. Staying from August 15 to 17, that is, two nights, can cost between 230 and 300 euros for two people. This would mean about 60 euros per night per individual.

For those who prefer a hotel room, the prices are higher. On the same dates, and also for two people, there are options starting at 300 euros and up. That is, at least 75 euros per night per person. Prices increase as the hotel's proximity to the center increases, considering that it is one of the main venues of the Feria de Málaga.

Another option is to rent entire apartments through platforms like Airbnb. For groups of four, to stay two nights between August 22 and 24, there are apartment options ranging from 350 to 450 euros. Considering the latter price, divided among the four travelers, the cost per night would be just over 55 euros. If one of the apartments costing about 350 euros is booked, the cost per night would be around 40 euros.

By searching through different websites, you can still find options to attend the Feria de Málaga and stay in the capital for less than 100 euros.
