The Wine and Gastronomy Fair that is held in the Teulada-Moraira auditorium, opens its doors a new edition of an event that is committed to quality and the importance of preserving the value of the region's cultural and natural heritage, through its wine and its gastronomy.
Abahana Villas - Gastronomic and wine show in Moraira.
A fabulous fair that attracts numerous well-known exponents of "haute cuisine" and famous chefs such as Quique Dacosta or Juan Casamayor, who, in last year's edition, delighted those present with show cooking performances based on homemade cold meats from Requena and Muscatel grapes from Teulada.
The Wine and Gastronomy Fair is designed as an event in which home made products and traditional agriculture go hand in hand with culture and highly elaborate gastronomical dishes. An event that places great value on the land and the landscape while emphasizing the important role played by the Muscatel grape from Alexandria, the municipality's primary agricultural activity and the source of a rich cultural tradition that dates back to Roman times, according to the local Mayor, who normally inaugurates the event.
Regional cuisine and products adapted to modern cooking are the principal motif of a fair that although it has only been held for the past four years, has learnt how to present the very best of the land through its history and its traditions. This fair also presents the land as an attractive element for new types of tourists who enjoy new ways of discovering and savouring the region's cultural and gastronomical heritage through its landscape, people, villages and traditions. Let's not forget that Teulada-Moraira was named Spain's Best Tourist Destination in 2014.
This fair, as its organisers are quick to tell us, is combined with the Muscatel Fiesta, which has been held now for more than 25 years. These two complementary activities are both held in September, when the Muscatel grape is in perfect condition.
The Teulada-Moraira Auditorium also presents a tribute to the gastronomy of the Community of Valencia through its own quality Denomination of Origin products. An absolute pleasure for the senses and an event that is well worth a place in you diary!
Moraira
A week of festivities, gala parades, conquests and reconquests bring the streets of Moraira to fever pitch, coinciding as they do with the start of the tourist season and the celebration of one of this Alicante town's most deeply rooted festivals: the Moors and Christians Festival.
Alicante
The Bonfires of San Juan in Alicante, which coincide with the summer solstice on the 24th of June, are without doubt the best known of all the festivities that are held in this town. Internationally famous, not for nothing have they been declared a "Festival of International Tourist Interest", and each year they attract thousands of people from every corner of the world.
Alicante
Just before the summer solstice, Alicante dresses up to the nines to conjure up the time when King James II incorporated the land of Alicante to the Crown of Aragon, and endowed the province with an annual market fair that marked the beginning of the city's commercial activity.
