El Borge - Día de la Pasa ( Raisin Day Festival )
El Borge celebrates one of its most important traditional festivals, the 29th Día de la Pasa, a day dedicated to the village’s famous Moscatel grapes and raisins and the generations of local families who have kept this tradition alive.
Known for its strong connection to Moscatel grape growing and raisin production, El Borge comes alive for a full day celebrating this important part of the Axarquía’s agricultural and cultural heritage.
Throughout the day, the village streets and squares will be filled with music, traditional food, local culture and a lively festival atmosphere.
Visitors can discover more about the traditions surrounding the Moscatel grape, taste local products and experience the character of a village whose history and identity remain closely connected to raisin production.
A lovely opportunity to explore El Borge and experience one of the Axarquía’s most distinctive traditional celebrations.
