    What’s happening around Málaga and the Costa del Sol from July 13th to July 19th? In this week’s edition of The Málaga Radio Weekly Diary, Carmen and Baptiste guide you through the events, food, live-music, culture, nightlife, sport and outdoor ideas worth knowing about across the coast. The biggest story of the week is the Virgen del Carmen, with maritime processions, boats, flowers, fireworks, local fairs and fishing communities bringing beaches, harbours and neighbourhoods to life from El Palo and Pedregalejo to La Carihuela, Los Boliches, Benalmádena, Nerja, Estepona and beyond. Culture is especially strong, with The Phantom of the Opera at Teatro Cervantes, evening museum programmes at the Carmen Thyssen, major exhibitions in Málaga and Estepona, opera in Marbella, jazz in Alhaurín de la Torre and theatrical visits at the Cueva del Tesoro. Food and hospitality bring espetos by the sea, wine tastings in Manilva and Málaga, the Mijas craft beer, ham and cured meats festival, rooftop cocktails, market food, beachside gatherings and premium dining around Starlite and Marbella. Music and nightlife include Sting at Marenostrum Fuengirola, Starlite Marbella, Puro Latino Torremolinos, the 101 Music Festival in Málaga, UB40, Loquillo, Il Volo, jazz, classical concerts, beach-club sessions and smaller late-night live-music venues. For Sports and Outdoors, we look at evening motocross in Estepona, canyoning near Benahavís, kayaking and snorkelling around Nerja, sunset climbing in Ronda, beach yoga, paddleboarding, padel, Jugger and important access updates for Río Chíllar and El Saltillo.
