🍅 Agriculture and local gastronomy take center stage at the La Aldea Tomato Fair 2026 La Aldea is getting ready to celebrate the Tomato Fair 2026 on the coming 23 and 24 October. Framed within the brand "La Aldea Despensa de Sabores" (La Aldea Pantry of Flavours), the fair, organised by the Department of Primary Sector headed by mayor Pedro Suárez, will offer two days combining outreach, tradition, tastings and entertainment. “Once again we are holding the Tomato Fair with the aim of recognising the efforts of those who work in the fields every day and of championing a product that, for generations, has been part of the history, economy and identity of our municipality,” highlighted the mayor and councillor for the Primary Sector, Pedro Suárez. For his part, the general director of COAGRISAN, Marcelo Rodríguez, stated that “this initiative allows us to take pride in being a town that has fed half of Europe, and we want to use it to send a clear message about the importance of defending the primary sector and the key role of the POSEI programme in the outermost regions.” The programme will start on Friday 23 October with a technical day at the Senior Centre, where three talks will be held on the properties of tomatoes, agricultural innovation and the history of this crop in La Aldea. The day will be rounded off with a cocktail show by Tahiche Puig Déniz, a renowned Canarian bartender and managing director of the Radical Bartending School. On Saturday 24 October, the fair will begin its second day in the surroundings of La Alameda with a market of local products and children’s workshops. Throughout the morning there will also be agri-food tastings, cocktail demonstrations by Tahiche Puig Déniz and a show cooking by María Eugenia Segura, a local resident and co‑founder of the restaurant Mestura. The day will also feature musical performances and the official ceremony to present awards to all the agricultural engineers of the municipality. 🔗 https://laaldeasanicolas.es/la-agricultura-y-la-gastronomia-local-protagonistas-de-la-feria-del-tomate-2026-de-la-aldea-de-san-nicolas/
