DISCOVER ANDALUCÍA Mollina celebrates its grape harvest

The heart of Malaga province produces some very good wines, as this is a long-estab- lished industry in the area, and on the sec- ond weekend of Sep- tember each year the village of Mollina holds a festival to cele- brate its grape harvest. There will be a macro-tasting and a pa- rade of decorated bicy- cles among the other activities organised for this fair, which will be opened with a speech given from a personal- ity from the world of culture or art. This year, that privilege has been granted to the filmmaker Gracia Querejeta.
