The Plaza Circular of Murcia will become the epicenter of Murcia gastronomy this coming April on the occasion of the celebration of 'Murcia Foodie Week'. The event, which will take place between April 18 and 21, was presented this Tuesday by the vice mayor and councilor for Development and Heritage, Rebeca Pérez, and the councilor for Tourism, Commerce and Consumption, Jesús Pacheco, along with the organizers.
This festival hopes to serve as a showcase for the promotion of Murcia as a gastronomic tourism destination. To do this, several influencers have been invited to reveal the secrets of Murcian gastronomy, making the dishes reach their hundreds of thousands of followers through social networks and promoting Murcia as a gastronomic destination. Jesús Pacheco details that at this meeting the Circular will have dozens of booths, among which there will be food trucks, as well as spaces to taste the dishes and a tasting area.
'Murcia Foodie Week' will feature a selection of live performances, tastings, workshops, tastings with pairings and interactive culinary experiences. The objective is to create a significant social impact, placing Murcia on the map as a first-rate gastronomic destination.
For the Murcia Foodie Week, online content creators have been invited such as Papisviajeros, Bysherezade, Miraqueplan, Belensanchezmol, Rosabarrancos, Nuriarosa and Picoteoqueteveo, among others.
