Pincho de la Feria

The Pincho de la Feria is a tall white metallic structure featuring a four-pointed gray star at its base located near the Puerta de Hierros entrance. The construction rises prominently above the circular fairground layout and functions as a visual reference point among the commercial stands and exhibition spaces.

The structure represents three distinct phases throughout its existence, with the original construction dating back to 1912 and the Templete de la Feria establishment in Albacete. Subsequent renovations reflect changing needs of the fair across different decades.

The mast serves as a central meeting point during the September fair, where thousands of visitors gather to celebrate local traditions and community festivities. People use this location to meet with friends and family while enjoying the celebration.

The mast marks a central point where visitors can easily orient themselves when exploring the circular fairground. It is best to visit this area during daytime hours when visibility is optimal and crowds are more manageable.

During the fair, the mast is surrounded by circular strips of lights that transform it into a glowing beacon visible across the entire fairground. This lighting display makes the location particularly recognizable to visitors exploring the grounds at night.
