A survey among attendees at the Real del Cortijo de Torres reveals the ten most beloved names. El Revuelo, Alboroto ADN and La Tajá top the list.
The Málaga Fair 2026 is in full swing and, amidst bottles and sevillanas, the question many are asking is: where is the best atmosphere? A poll among young people enjoying an afternoon at the Real del Cortijo de Torres has revealed the names that have won the unconditional affection of the younger audience.
The responses have varied, but there are ten booths that repeatedly emerge as favourites. Among them, El Revuelo, Alboroto ADN, La Tajá and Le Grand Perchelera stand out, although the complete list will be unveiled in upcoming installments. They all share something in common: they are spaces where the taste of Cartojal and music are always present.
El Revuelo Trópico: the novelty that conquered the Real
Booth number 3, on Antonio Rodríguez Sánchez street, is one of the major revelations of this edition. Although it opened its doors for the first time at the 2025 Fair, it has already carved out a place among the youth's favourites. Its origins lie in a small venue next to Plaza de la Merced, which later moved to Teatinos, and has now made the leap to the Real.
Young people highlight its fun atmosphere and the friendliness of its waiters, as explained by a local woman who frequented it when it was still in the Centre. Additionally, its performance lineup includes names like Rubén Fernández and José Santiago.
Alboroto ADN: the classic that never fails
Number 17-18, also on Antonio Rodríguez Sánchez street, is another must-visit. With barely a year of life at the Real, this booth started as a bar in Plaza de la Merced and has become a classic for those seeking music and good vibes during the big week.
“Throughout the rest of the year, we go to ADN for drinks and to have a good time together; we can’t miss it during fair week,” explained a group of friends who were enduring the heat to the rhythm of the music. This year, it has also joined the Charanga 404, a proposal that attendees describe as “very fun and great for those moments when you feel down”.
La Tajá: ten years of loyalty
Booth 19-20, on the same street, is a true symbol of continuity. With a decade of history, La Tajá has become a must-visit meeting point for those who return year after year. Its constant presence at the Cortijo de Torres has made it part of the usual landscape of the Fair.
“We came for the first time in 2019 and since then, whenever we come to Málaga for the fair, we can’t miss La Tajá,” shared a group of friends who travel each year from Badajoz. This shows that this booth has managed to create its own community.
The Málaga Fair continues until next Sunday, and the booths at the Real open from noon until well into the early hours. Those who have yet to choose their favourite spot now have some names to start deciding.
