On the eastern side of Andalucia:
In Almeria (capital)-
La Virgen del Mar, last 10 days of Aug. with bullfights, a Fairground with 50 "casetas" Seville Feria style, bars spilling over, and a flamenco festival in the Plaza Vieja
In Mojacar, Almeria province-
San Agustin, from Aug. 27-30
down on/near the Costa del Sol:
In Malaga, capital-
La Feria de agosto, from 2nd Sat to 3rd Sun of August with lively fairground at night, daily bullfights with the famous matadors.
in the white town of Competa in the Axarquia, Malaga province-
8/15, "la noche del vino" (could be very interesting...)
In white town of Ojen, above Marbella-
Festival de Cante Flamenco, last of July, first days of Aug.
In Almunecar, Malaga province-
Virgen de la Antigua, their patron saint. 8/15
On the far western side:

I heard that the Malaga Feria ( August) is super fun and the big advantage is that the casetas ( tents) are mostly public. In comparison at the Feria de Sevilla they are mostly private & one cannot just join a private area.
I don't think I could do August in the south though.😰
I would be interested to hear from anyone eho had attended Malaga Feria in August.
