Orange Day and Tapas Route

On Saturday, May 23rd, 2026, Istán celebrates the 30th edition of its Food Fair, Orange Day and Tapas Route, one of the town’s most flavourful local events. The day starts at 1:00 pm and will take place across the village’s bars, restaurants and hotels, with two street bands bringing music to the route, plus the food fair at the Calle Marbella viewpoint and a final live music performance at 8:00 pm in Plaza del Pueblo. The event combines local gastronomy, seasonal produce and a festive village atmosphere. The orange, closely linked to Istán’s agricultural identity, shares the spotlight with tapas and dishes prepared by participating venues. Access to the general event and food fair is free, although each establishment will set its own prices for tapas and meals. Further details about the tapas route format and prices will be confirmed closer to the date. Istán’s whitewashed village centre becomes an open-air food route filled with music, local flavour and community spirit, surrounded by the Sierra de las Nieves landscape. A great plan for anyone looking for things to do in Istán, a food event in Málaga province or an authentic local experience with tapas, oranges and live music.
