Everything You Need to Know
A little background
he Trade Fair was launched as an initiative of the department responsible for commerce, in collaboration with the Guardamar Merchants Association, to raise the profile of local businesses and promote local consumption. The first documented editions were held in the spring, in Plaza de la Constitución and the ground floor of the town council, featuring fifteen 5-by-5-meter tents allocated by lottery and split operating hours in the morning and afternoon/evening. Over the years, the fair moved to the summer and to Avenida de los Pinos, seeking to attract seasonal visitors and take advantage of a pedestrian-friendly street lined with dining options, and it expanded its offerings to become an event that brings together retail, restaurants, local associations, and tourism service providers. The town council views the fair as part of a broader strategy to position Guardamar as a culinary destination, supported by two local products with their own distinct identities. The “ñora de Guardamar,” a red pepper with a collective trademark, is sun-dried in solar tunnels set up on the sand of the dunes—a natural process credited with giving it its characteristic aroma. The langostino comes from the inshore fleet of the local fishermen’s guild—an organization with over a century of history—and is marketed under the “Peix de Guardamar” brand. Both are the centerpiece of the Ñora and Langostino Gastronomic Week, which is held during the first half of June since the mid-2000s and has served nearly 2,000 set menus at participating restaurants in recent years.
