The fair of Almeria is celebrated in honour of the Virgin del Mar, patron saint of Almeria. The city turns completely with this party. The citizens and visitors of the city, park their problems for a few days and go out on the streets to live the joy and revelry that this city offers. The festival is divided into the day fair, celebrated in the historic centre where you can enjoy drinks and typical tapas; and the nigh fair that is celebrated at the fairgrounds of El Palmeral, in the neighbourhood of el Zapillo, where you can enjoy the great atmosphere and fun until dawn. Further there are technical firework shows that iliminate the skies of the city and delight all spectators. You can alos enjoy the musical performances by singers of the national forefront.
The fair of Almería usually unfolds during ten intense days of the second fortnight of August, this year from August 22nd till 29th 2011. In the morning the fair is celebrated in the city centre, where there will also be a culinary competition. At night, the diversion moves on to the fairgrounds with its stalls and attractions for all ages.
The musical performances that can be enjoyed during the feria are pop/rock as well as flamenco spectacles (also referred to as the Flamenco Festival which is held during the fair of Almeria), held at the the Palace of the Mediterranean Games (pop/rock) or the Plaza de Constitución (flamenco). Below the performances held during the 2011 fair:

Camela in concert in Almeria
Presenting their latest album: La Magia del Amor The Magic of Love
To define the music of Camela, there are locutions for all tastes. According to José Mercé, the music is a combination of the technical melody of the Pet Shop Boys with the neighbourhood scamps: "I listen to Camela and see that there is sentiment and purity!¨. It is what the English call ¨the people's choice¨, is what the newspaper El Mundo published some time ago on the Madrid group. Fact is that over six million people have bought their official records since the trio released its first album in 1994, and there are many more followers that remember songs that hook up to the first because, as Camela says, "all artists perform love songs. We perform love stories.¨
