The 13th Great 'Sabor a Málaga' Fair kicks off with record participation and activities for all audiences

From December 5 to 9, the Málaga Park Walkway becomes the epicenter of Malaga's gastronomy with the celebration of the XIII Great Fair Taste of Málaga, organized by the Provincial Council. With 114 producers and over 2,000 products, this event consolidates its growth with an edition that extends over six days and includes more than 40 activities for all audiences.

The fair, inaugurated this Wednesday by the president of the Provincial Council, Francisco Salado, and the mayor of Málaga, Francisco de la Torre, promises to be one of the most complete to date. Among the highlights are thematic days, workshops, live performances, and tastings, all aimed at promoting the gastronomic wealth of the province. This year, the province of Ávila also participates as a guest, sharing its culinary heritage in a twinning ceremony.

Awards for Excellence: Award-winning Malaga Cheeses and Wines

During the inauguration, awards were presented for the Best Goat Cheeses and Best Wines of Málaga, two contests that recognize the quality of local products. The awarded cheese factories were AGAMMASUR, El Porticatero, Caprina del Guadalhorce, Flor Bermeja, and Cabraline, with a total of 27,000 euros in prizes.

On the other hand, the awarded wineries included names such as Victoria Ordóñez e Hijos, Lunares, Kieninger, Bentomiz, Quitapenas, and Dimobe, which received 30,500 euros in prizes. In addition to the financial endowment, these products will be included in the promotional circuit of the brand Taste of Málaga, boosting their visibility both locally and nationally.
