The Alcazaba of Málaga (Alcazaba de Málaga) hosted José Fermín Fernández at the Pepe Romero Guitar Festival in Malaga on 24 September 2026. The flamenco guitarist performed in the Patio de Surtidores, a named space within the historic palace-fortress complex.
José Fermín Fernández brought flamenco guitar to the Alcazaba
The concert formed part of the fifth Pepe Romero Guitar Festival, whose 2026 programme ran from 4 to 30 September. The festival organiser placed Fernández’s concert in the Patio de Surtidores at the Alcazaba on 24 September 2026.
Fernández is from Granada and the organiser presents him as a contemporary flamenco guitar performer. The festival programme also identifies his awards, including the Bordón Minero at the Festival de las Minas de La Unión and the first overall prize at the Concurso Nacional de Córdoba. Festival programme for 24 September places the artist and venue together on the same event page.
The Patio de Surtidores sits inside a layered fortress
The Alcazaba stands on the hillside of Mount Gibralfaro above Malaga’s bay. During the Islamic period it developed from a fortification into a palace-fortress and the seat of the city government.
The official history records major works under Badis, the Zirid ruler of Granada, after he took Malaga in 1056. The complex includes two fortified precincts, entry fortifications and a palatial area. Its total area is 14,200 square metres, including 7,000 square metres of built space. The monument’s official history records restoration work beginning in 1933. The concert therefore connected a September 2026 music programme with a courtyard inside a structure whose present form reflects many centuries of military and residential use.
