Ferrari enthusiasts and lovers of engines in general will love this notice. In September the best Ferrari of all Europe will invade the town of Torremolinos to star in one of the largest concentrations of the history of the iconic Italian team.

The Costa del Sol will become for a few days at the headquarters of Ferrari, with the greatest exposure ever of these vehicles, only comparable to the one in the Ferrari factory in Maranello, the birthplace of the brand. It will be a unique opportunity to discover the most spectacular sporting cars of the “Cavallino Rampant” (The Prancing Horse).

One hundred Ferrari Sports cars, selected for their prestige, charisma, uniqueness and quotation, comprise the catalog of this show in the world of motor, organized by the Spanish Association of Owners of Ferrari and which will have their podium at the Palace of Congresses and Exhibitions of Torremolinos.

The exhibition will run from 2^nd to 12^th of September and will unite 35 more exclusive models of the entire history of the brand since its founding in 1947.

On September 4^th, the engine roar is at its most spectacular point with the addition of another 70 units participating in the Competition of Regularity, organized by the association, which will take place along the route Granada-Torremolinos-Marbella.

Models such as the legendary Enzo, F50, F40, the 228 GTO, Daytona and the spectacular Testarrossa and the California can be seen along the streets of Costa del Sol on the way to the exhibition at the Palacio de Congresos of Torremolinos, an exhibition that in addition meets some other sports brands such as Lamborghini, Alfa Romeo and Masserati.

Tonight the locals and visitors to the Costa del Sol are starting engines for nine days of intense party with a fireworks show and a concert at the beach La Malagueta in Malaga city, which will begin at midnight and will last until the wee hours of the morning.

When the clock strikes 00:00, the magic and color of fireworks will take over the capital. More than seven tons of pyrotechnics are ready to get launched into the air tonight and illuminate the sky of Malaga.

The fireworks show is the result of careful planning and installation to achieve the synchronism between the pyrotechnic effects and musical pieces that comprise it, producing a real sense of beauty and synchrony able to create in the viewer a myriad of emotions.

For this end will be used 7226 kilos of gunpowder and pyrotechnic devices, which will create for 23 minutes more than 40.000 effects in the sky of Malaga. A spectacle not to be missed.

Everything changes in Malaga during these the nine days of Feria, since the party prevails over anything else.

The fair, which takes place from the 14^th to the 21^st of August, still has its two locations, the Day Fair in the city centre and the Night Fair on the fairgrounds.

The vibrant rhythms of the African djembe or ‘talking drums’ of the Senegalese group Sicobana Africa are responsible for the unusual journey into the heart of the jungle that takes place every evening in July and August, except for Mondays, in Bioparc Fuengirola.

The sessions include spectacular African dance choreography and tribal percussion which show why the drums since ancient times are the soul of music making in the so-called forgotten continent.

This particular activity can be completed with a special dinner in the light of the candles for 35 Euros for adults and 15 Euros for children. Also during the summer, the exhibition opens its doors until midnight for Sumatran tigers, Malayan tapirs or pygmy hippos to surprise the visitors.

The popular Fuengirola Zoo, which last March changed its name to Bioparc Fuengirola, is presenting a new park model based on respect for nature and the preservation of their species.

The enclosure in which live more than 1,400 animals of 130 different species has an innovative architectural design called ‘zoo-immersion “, which introduces and immerses visitors in the habitat of each animal.

Young and old will spend an unforgettable day in the park because they can see many animals in a magical setting and know faraway places such as Madagascar, Equatorial Africa and Southeast Asia.

The tour through the Bioparc Fuengirola begins on the island of Madagascar, with a massive baobab tree 25 meters high, which has become the icon of the compound and one of the largest artificial trees in the world.

There are a variety of spaces with wetlands, forest floor, the valley of the gorillas and the mountain forest. There is as well a space set in Southeast Asia where are living tigers, orangutans of Borneo, cockatoos, squirrels … This area also has an excellent reproduction of a mangrove swamp that has earned the award for best European site.

The main objective of Bioparc Fuengirola is the conservation of the environment and animals through the reproduction of the species. Some of the most important births occurred in the park have been of emblematic species like the Sumatran tiger, included in the Red List of Threatened Species with the highest category of “critically threatened”. Currently, only 250 animals are free in their natural habitat.

The Council for Tourism takes full account of the German tour operators, airlines and market intermediaries during the Tourism Forum.
As the Slogan says “Andalucía te quiere” (Andalusia loves you). And if you are one of the 1.1 million German tourists who visit the region each year, it loves you even more.
Council for Tourism of the Junta de Andalucía renewed the compromise with one of the strongest sectors in tourism which provides a regular expenditure higher than the average, with a longer stay and one of the best retention rates.
The companies agreed that “the German tourism demand is consistent with what offers Andalusia” and highlighted two perceptions: Tourists want surroundings which are based on the respect for the natural environment and also demand more suited prices than Andalusia has been offering during the last years.

Many northern countries are already entering fully into the “green economy”, for instance: It makes sense that a German might be interested in how much CO2 emissions is generating his stay in a certain destination. The German tourist requires an environmentally friendly offer and is not willing to pay for it with increased taxes.
Although Germany will certify in 2010 a financial improvement, the review of budgets for holidays is downward.
Tourists are willing to pay less for their holidays, and prefer to secure their cost by all-inclusive packages.
In this context and with the extraordinary price competition in the Mediterranean, Andalusia is an expensive destination, as advocated by the representatives of the three major tour operators (TUI, Thomas Cook and Rewe).
Improvement options are also including new segments such as Golf and culture, though without losing sight of the fact that the tourists come mainly for the sun and the beaches.
