Halloween With A Malagueño Flavour: Traditions, Dishes And Plans In Rincón De La Victoria of Hotel Rincón Sol in Málaga. Official Website.
Ready for a different kind of Halloween, with a sea breeze and an Andalusian twist? On the Costa del Sol, this date isn’t just about pumpkins and spooky costumes – it’s also blended with very local traditions such as All Saints’ Day. And in Rincón de la Victoria, just a few minutes from Málaga city, you’ll enjoy a hauntingly good holiday filled with history, gastronomy and plans for all tastes.
How is Halloween and All Saints’ Day celebrated in Málaga?
In recent years, Halloween has taken hold across the province of Málaga with parties, fancy-dress contests and activities for both children and adults. But here the roots are never forgotten: 1st November, All Saints’ Day, remains a time of remembrance and tradition. Families gather to share stories and to enjoy seasonal sweets.
It’s the perfect mix: by day, a solemn celebration with the aroma of baked treats and cinnamon; by night, a parade of witches, zombies and vampires wandering past lanterns and beach bars.
Frightfully Tasty Gastronomy
Because Halloween in Málaga isn’t all about sweets. In Málaga and the Axarquía, this season tastes of traditional pastries and hearty dishes. Huesos de santo, filled with sweet egg yolk, are so good they should come with a warning. Buñuelos de viento are the perfect companion to an afternoon coffee after a sunset stroll. Tostones – roasted chestnuts – fill the streets with the unmistakable aroma of autumn. And of course, local stews like berzas malagueñas, rich with chickpeas, beans, vegetables and meat, make for the best way to recharge after a night of partying. Because yes, even the ghosts in Málaga eat well.
Spooky (and Fun) Plans in Rincón de la Victoria
If you’re here during these dates, the Cueva del Tesoro is an absolute must. Its galleries, unique in the world, hide legends of pirates and hidden treasures – perfect for an eerie afternoon of mystery. Close by, in the city centre, night-time tours uncover stories of hauntings, murders and legends of Málaga’s old quarter. Between narrow alleys and ancient shadows, a shiver down your spine is guaranteed.
Rincón itself also gets into the spirit. Bars and venues are decked out for Halloween, with decorations, costume contests and a lively atmosphere for all ages. And if you’d rather something calmer, nothing beats a walk along the seafront promenade at dusk. With the lights twinkling, the sound of the waves and even a last-minute costume, it can feel just as magical as any party.
Hotel Rincón Sol: Your Refuge by the Mediterranean
