The Champions Burger is now in Malaga: inauguration, new cover, 15 participating burgers, and a host of new features

A new edition of The Champions Burger began in Malaga at 7 p.m. on Thursday. Once again, the Malaga Cruise Terminal is hosting this gastronomic event, which is putting up a “wanted” sign for the best burger in Spain. Fifteen burger restaurants from all over Spain are vying to be crowned champions of this national route, some as visually appealing as they are tasty, with premium ingredients and incredible sauces.

As in previous editions, the venue will be pet-friendly and admission will be free until full capacity is reached. The space will debut its new visual cover with many references to the gastronomic route they represent. The Champions Burger also reminds us of a recurring recommendation: to purchase burgers through the Uber Eats platform to avoid queues and save no less than £3 on each burger.

We'll tell you which burgers are participating in the competition, which ones belong to the Hall of Fame and therefore are not participating but will be present, as well as which ones offer vegetarian and gluten-free options.
