Verbena del Carmen
Centro Cívico Cayetano Arroyo·21:00
The Llano de la Cruz hamlet throws its traditional Verbena del Carmen on 17–18 July 2026 at the Centro Cívico Cayetano Arroyo, opposite the venta 'El Polvorilla' on the edge of Ronda — the last of the summer's neighbourhood fiestas across Ronda's pedanías. Friday opens at 21:00 with the inauguration, a beer tasting and live music from the **Trío Bahía Azul**, followed by a prize-filled popular bingo at 23:00 and a DJ. Saturday is built for families: a free inflatable water castle in the morning, a free communal paella at 15:00, a foam party at 17:30, more music from Bahía Azul, late-night bingo and another DJ set. There's an affordable bar, foosball and darts on site — and it's free to attend.
