Andrés del Águila has painted his home town’s fair. The doctor and painter from Albox is the artist behind the poster for the 2026 Feria de Todos los Santos (All Saints’ Fair), which Albox Town Council has just unveiled together with the programme. And he points out that “it is not a conventional poster”: it is an oil painting with the spirit of a festival poster, with room for the joy of the fiesta, the Santuario del Saliente and a phrase that sums it all up, “Albox Gloria Divina”.
Del Águila has taken on the commission “with great excitement, satisfaction and very grateful”. Understandably so: his painting will be the face of one of the most eagerly awaited events of the year in Albox, which will be held from 29 October to 3 November.
The big new feature is the Caseta Joven (youth marquee), a tent with its own programme of DJs and themed parties. Josu Balladares, Pepelu López, Yeieme, Juanma Flores, Santi, P. Rivas and DJ Franpa will appear there, as well as the party ‘La casita de lo perreo’. The mayor, María del Mar Alfonso, says that with the programme they have tried “to take on board all the residents’ requests”.

Every day, the Caseta de las Cofradías will host Los Lagartos, Rumba Kimbao, El Legado, Los Bigardos and Por un Puñado de Tercios, and there will be no shortage of the Almanzora, Liverpool and El Norte bands or of dance displays by Virgen del Saliente, Danza Fusión and Grupo Albaida.
And, as tradition dictates, the Feria del Ganado (livestock fair) returns, as do the Pájaro de Perdiz (partridge) fair with its competition, the Motoalmuerzo (motorbike lunch) and the corrida de cintas (ribbon race) on horseback. After all, the fiesta dates back to a livestock fair that came to be among the most important in Spain, as Turismo de Andalucía recalls.
From elValle Actualidad, we’re letting you know in good time: from 29 October to 3 November, Albox dresses up for the fair.
