Twelve establishments in Almería and its province are participating from this Thursday, October 15, until October 25 in the II Gastronomic Week of the Toro de Lidia, an event organised by the Provincial Association of Hospitality Entrepreneurs of Almería (ASHAL) with the collaboration of the Almería City Council and the Provincial Council.

What the organisers say
The councillor for Commerce, Employment and Almerian Talent, Ana Trigueros, has stated that "commerce and hospitality are much more than an economic activity.

The provincial deputy for Tourism, María José Herrada, has encouraged people to "book their table, discover these recipes and complete the gastronomic experience by pairing it with the products of Sabores Almería." The president of ASHAL, Pedro Sánchez-Fortún, has explained that these days are "an opportunity to value a meat with personality and a cuisine that requires knowledge, time and care."
To participate
The Week is held from October 15 to 25 at the twelve participating establishments. To attend, it is enough to book a table at any of them.
