International Gourmet Fair
A paradise for food and wine lovers, the annual Madrid Gourmet
Fair has improved every year since it was first held in 1987 to
showcase Spain’s fine food and beverages. Traditionally the
fair opens with the entertaining ‘Ham Carving
Competition’ (ham being a staple delicacy in Spain, and
gourmets being particularly partial to ham from acorn fed pigs).
There is also wine-tasting, a gourmet cook-off in which top chefs
from Spain’s autonomous regions compete, a ‘Spanish
cheese’ contest and of course plenty of delights to sample at
the stands of more than 700 national and international
exhibitors.
Venue: Casa de Campo Exhibition Centre;
Date: March 2010 TBA
