The Burger Cup arrives in San Pedro de Alcántara with viral burgers, music and a family-friendly atmosphere

San Pedro de Alcántara is preparing to become one of the Costa del Sol’s main summer foodie hotspots for a week. The Burger Cup will arrive in the town from 3 to 9 August with a proposal that combines gourmet burgers, food trucks, live music, DJ sessions and activities for the whole family.

The event will take place on Boulevard San Pedro, which will be transformed into a route of flavours featuring some of the most viral burger brands of the moment. Admission will be free, and the programme is designed to attract both residents and visitors looking for an informal, tasty and festive open-air experience.

Gourmet burgers and food trucks from across Spain

The Burger Cup is a travelling championship that brings together burger restaurants from different parts of the country to compete for public recognition. During the San Pedro de Alcántara edition, visitors will be able to try a variety of gastronomic proposals, many of them designed to stand out both for their flavour and presentation.

The offer will include signature burgers, creative recipes, food trucks and proposals from different corners of Spain. The format aims to go beyond a simple food fair and turn each visit into a complete leisure experience.

The public will choose the best burger

One of the most distinctive features of The Burger Cup is the direct participation of visitors. Those who consume at the event will be able to vote for their favourite burger using a QR code provided after each purchase.

At the end of the event, an awards ceremony will be held to crown the best burger chosen by the public. This system turns visitors into an active part of the championship and adds a competitive element to the gastronomic experience.

Music, DJs, raffles and a pet-friendly area

In addition to the burgers, The Burger Cup will feature a continuous entertainment programme. The event will include live music, DJ sessions, raffles, surprises and activities designed for all audiences.

The organisers will also set up a pet-friendly area, allowing those who come with their pets to enjoy the atmosphere of the event. This combination of gastronomy, music and family spaces reinforces the open and welcoming nature of the event.

Activities for children

The programme will also include activities for younger visitors. One of the highlights will be a children’s showcooking session, scheduled for Saturday 8 August at 12.30 pm, aimed at children and requiring prior registration through social media.

This activity seeks to introduce children to cooking in a fun and participatory way, completing an agenda that is not only designed for burger lovers, but also for families looking for a different summer plan.

Event opening hours

The Burger Cup will open from Monday to Thursday, from 7 pm to midnight, while from Friday to Sunday it will extend its opening hours until 1 am.

These hours make the event especially suited to afternoons and evenings, ideal for enjoying after the beach, walking around San Pedro de Alcántara and having dinner in a lively atmosphere.

San Pedro adds a new food event to the summer calendar

The arrival of The Burger Cup strengthens San Pedro de Alcántara’s leisure agenda during the high season. The event has the support of Marbella Town Hall as institutional sponsor, along with the collaboration of brands such as Amstel, Coca-Cola and Just Eat.

With this proposal, Boulevard San Pedro joins the national circuit of an event that in recent years has established itself as one of Spain’s leading travelling food events, combining signature burgers, music and entertainment in different cities.
