The festival, which has now been held for over two decades, has become a showcase for the municipality's identity, highlighting the quality of its subtropical crops, Muscat raisins, citrus fruits, and garden produce. It also pays tribute to agricultural workers and enriches its program with local folklore.
“"It is a festival where we mix gastronomy, tourism, culture, tradition, and celebration. All of this to showcase the agricultural richness of our valley."
Declared a Provincial Tourist Singularity in 2012, the festival is organized as a route through the town center's streets, where sixteen stalls will be set up. Six of these will offer free tastings prepared by residents and associations, while four others will sell local products and goods from other towns. There will also be two charity stalls.
Among the delicacies available for tasting are avocado smoothies, Moorish fried dishes, tripe stew, the traditional 'zoque,' and 'cateta' salad. Additionally, local businesses such as Supermercados Lorena, Benatropic, Kiosco de Tatiana, and Jugreyma will offer their products, ranging from cured meats and jams to agricultural machinery and souvenirs from Benamargosa. External companies like Trops, Vino Montes de Comares, Quesos El Porticatero, and Pasas Frupasan de Almáchar are also collaborating.
The day will begin at noon with the reception of authorities and the opening of the stalls. Music will be provided by the Panda de Verdiales de El Borge and the Orquesta Rompeolas. The institutional act will take place at 2:30 PM, followed by paella tastings. In the afternoon, there will be flamenco performances by Maika Romero, dance exhibitions, and concerts by La Cebolla y el Negro Jari, and Óscar Muñoz.
