What is a Feria Gastronomica?
It’s a food festival! This is your time to sample many gastronomic delights. Since 1998 Almuñécar has been hosting this event in Majuelo Park. It is part of the bigger campaign to support gastronomic tourism in Spain. Usually, at least 30 local companies participate in the gastronomic feria. From hotels to restaurants, each will have a dedicated booth at this event, to promote their establishments and show off their culinary skills.
The objective of the event is to promote the hospitality sector of Almuñécar – La Herradura, relying on the quality of its products, and showing off the richness of the gastronomic skills of the municipality. You will also enjoy many performances, dances, workshops, and music, all in a very festive atmosphere. This is a much-anticipated tourist attraction each year, with people attending from all over the region and coastal Spain.
When is the Feria Gastronomica?
It is usually a 3-day event in early June at the park. Every year it is well received and many people look forward to this event.

When Feria Gastronomica will be held in 2026? I’d like to book the hotel and buy tickets in advance
You can ask the Ayuntamiento. It is usually the first weekend in June, but I won’t know for sure until they announce it and that will likely be just a couple of weeks in advance.
