The Almogía Almond Day will feature tastings, a market, and demonstrations

Almogía pays tribute to what was once one of its main sources of wealth next Sunday, September 28, with the celebration of Almond Day. The festival, which is in its 19th edition, has been declared of Provincial Touristic Singularity by the Málaga Provincial Council.

Starting at 11 AM, a market with over fifty exhibitors from local businesses will open to the public, offering almonds and almond-based products, cheeses, cured meats, desserts, breads, and wines for sale. Additionally, there will be tastings of fried almonds, sweet wine, and ajoblanco. Meanwhile, the local bars and restaurants will feature special recipes with almonds as one of the main ingredients.

Throughout the day, traditional crafts such as leatherworking, esparto grass crafting, and almond-related tasks like hulling, cracking, and peeling will be demonstrated. The program also includes two exhibitions: one on the process of harvesting and collecting almond fruits and another featuring paintings by local artist Isabel Arrabalí.

The celebration will be enlivened by the Raíces de Almogía verdiales band and the local verdiales school, the Nuestra Señora de la Asunción rociero choir, the bands Alejados and Electroduendes, and a DJ to close the evening. There will also be a children's area and animation workshops for the little ones.
