Gastromar 2026 returns to Los Alcazares with a weekend of regional cuisine, live demonstrations, entertainment and charity fundraising on November 6-8, after moving the event earlier due to forecasted rain. The fifth edition of the food festival, celebrating the flavors of the Mar Menor, will see 22 restaurants and 16 stalls set up across Plaza Manuel Floreal Menárguez and Plaza Real de la Feria, offering tastings, live cooking shows, music and a chance to discover fresh local produce.
This year’s ambassador, Edu Torres, a fourth-generation member of the Molino Roca family, will champion rice culture, with rice taking center stage in demonstrations and culinary experiences. A key highlight will be a charity ham-cutting event on Sunday, November 8, benefitting AFA Levante, an association supporting those affected by neurodegenerative diseases.
Professional ham cutters will showcase their skills, with attendees purchasing slices for €5, all proceeds going to the association. In addition to the main events, visitors can enjoy a gourmet market, children’s cooking activities, food pairings and entertainment throughout the three-day festival, which aims to highlight the region’s gastronomic traditions and position Los Alcazares as a culinary hub on the Costa Calida, even during the off-peak season.
