Almond Day in Almogía

Almond Day in Almogía is celebrated on the last Sunday of September, in the Guadalhorce Valley, and this year’s celebrations will be bigger than ever. 

The event highlights the traditions linked to the cultivation and processing of almonds, and the programme includes exhibitions of local products and tastings of the local Chanfaina (traditional stew with meat, vegetables as almonds), cheese, almond cakes, desserts, and wines from the region. The party spirit is carried along by traditional music and the staging of artisanal trades such as saddlery and palm leaf pleita, together with demonstrations of the shelling, splitting, and peeling of almonds.

The celebration of Almond Day in Almogía starts at 11.30am with the traditional ‘Loma’ route, in which attendees can enjoy sweet wine offered by the local council while listening to live music.

From 1:00 p.m., visitors can enjoy the famous tasting of fried almonds and the refreshing cold soup, Ajoblanco in the Plaza de la Constitución.
