Teba, a town in the Malaga province of Andalucia, is hosting its 20th annual Douglas' Days festival from August 20 to 23. This celebration commemorates Sir James Douglas, a loyal knight known as the Black Douglas, who stopped to help King Alfonso XI of Castile during a battle in 1330. The town has kept the story of Douglas' bravery alive ever since, and this year's event is being described as the must-see experience of the summer.
The festivities include a medieval market, craft stalls, traditional food, and street theatre, as well as a formal homage procession to the Douglas monument and live music. The event has attracted visitors from Scotland and Gibraltar, creating a unique Scottish atmosphere in a quiet Malaga province town. Teba is easily accessible and offers a refreshing alternative to the larger ferias in the region.
