The feria is held on the street Avenida del Mar which has Salvador Dali statues placed all the way down until it reaches the Paseo Maritimo. Candice explores the crowds finding out what the people of Marbella are favouring and what tapa dishes they are choosing to eat.

Paella the ´Caviar of Spain´ is a dish that has rice, saffron, fish, chicken, meat, peppers and peas. Many people like paella with a squeeze of lemon added. Other dishes like Ensalada Rusa that has potatoes, mayonnaise, tuna, and peas are creamier. Some tapas have black rice which is dyed by squid ink!
