The Federación Malagueña de Peñas ‘La Alcazaba’ was created in 1981 through the union of a group of entities in Malaga, most of them with stands at the fairgrounds. Its objectives are to promote and defend the peñas, develop and consolidate a good working spirit throughout its sphere of action, and promote and carry out activities for the benefit of all the entities that form part of the institution.
It has more than a hundred member organisations. Although most of them are located in the city of Malaga, there are also others in municipalities such as Torremolinos, Antequera, Rincón de la Victoria, Alhaurín de la Torre and Teba. In total, it represents a group of around 12,000 people, reaching more than 30,000 Malaga residents, including family members and supporters.
