Overview:
Nestled in the bustling center of Málaga, “La Sal y el Son” offers a unique culinary and cultural experience that brings the spirit of Andalusian fair (feria) to life all year round.

- Juan Carlos Plaza: With over 20 years of experience in designing fair booths across Andalucía and Spain, Juan Carlos has decorated nearly 800 booths annually, including notable ones in Málaga such as La Espiga and El Portón.
