El Puerto Feria

The Feria de Primavera y Fiestas del Vino Fino (Spring Fair and Fino Wine Festival) is El Puerto de Santa María’s Feria. It is held at the Las Banderas fairground, with casetas (marquees run by clubs and families) where people drink fino and eat fried fish. It is more of a family affair than the Jerez one, and most visitors come from around the bay and from Seville.

In 2027 the dates change. It was first announced for 28 April to 3 May, but in September 2026 the town council and the caseta owners agreed to move it to 2–7 June; formal approval is still pending (to be confirmed). It falls right at the start of the beach season.

Mirador Fuentebravía and Mirador Puerto Sherry are right on the beachfront: you can spend the morning on the sand and the evening at the Feria.

Our tips

• Book two or three months ahead if you want to stay by the beach that week.
• Before you fix your dates, check the Feria is still in June: until it is formally approved, it could change.
• The last day is usually a Monday, a local holiday in El Puerto, and it ends with fireworks.
• During the 2026 Feria the town council ran buses to the fairground on a special timetable; check elpuertodesantamaria.es to see if they run again.
