Oktoberfest returns to Torrox with more beers and music

Beer will be the highlight this weekend in Torrox, which is celebrating a new edition of its popular Oktoberfest with several parallel activities. The event will be held this year from Thursday 18 to Sunday 21 at the Ferrara plain, next to the Iberostar hotel, and in addition to gastronomy, it will offer live music.

The festival will open its doors on Thursday at six in the evening, while the rest of the days will start at noon. The manager of Birra&Art, co-organizer of Oktoberfest with the Torrox City Council, mentioned that this year, in addition to a wide variety of beers "typical wheat, German lagers, international and craft beers", there will be German bands, rock groups, festive music, and DJs to liven up the evenings.

For his part, the mayor, Óscar Medina, highlighted that this celebration is "a tribute to so many Germans who have lived in Torrox since the 70s and who have contributed so much to our municipality. The Torrox Oktoberfest is already one of the most important in southern Europe and we continue working to make it grow each year." He also indicated that there will be public transport available to facilitate access to the festival and that the event was recognized by National Geographic's Viajar magazine as one of the most outstanding in Spain, alongside those of Madrid, Barcelona, and Valencia.
