Recipe for success

THE 24th edition of Almuñecar’s Food Fair proved to be an irresistible delight, drawing a crowd of more than 9,000 food enthusiasts to Parque Majuelo for a three­day extravaganza from Friday, June 9.

Organised by the Almuñecar Tropical Valley Hospitality Association (AHVT) and the local council, the event received positive feedback from both residents and visitors.

Featuring 17 different food companies, the fair was a gastronomic paradise for visitors, allowing them to savour an array of dishes in one location. The event was a vibrant celebration of local cuisine, boosting the local economy and delighting tourists.

The fair also featured an assortment of delightful drinks, including renowned D O Granada wines and awardwinning Costa Tropical chirimoya fruit. Visitors sampled exquisite wines from approximately 20 vineyards, as well as learning more about the chirimoya fruit.

Breaking free from the pandemic after years of disruption, this year’s fair embraced a sense of normalcy, welcoming record­breaking numbers of attendees.

Participating businesses were a mix of returning favourites and new faces, but they all shared satisfaction with the warm reception they received and thanked organisers for a brilliant event.
