Deputy Mayor Ana Belén Castejón presented this morning at the facilities of Estrella de Levante the sixth edition of Cartagena Sabor, accompanied by regional government spokeswoman Noelia Arrollo and the mayor of Cieza, Pascual Lucas, whose municipality participates this year With its own stand.
The presentation was also attended by the Cartagena hoteliers who will have exhibitors at this event, which will be held at the Alfonso XII Muelle from the 14th to the 18th of this month, as well as with the general director of Estrella de Levante, Patricio Valverde .
Castejón explained that "the fact of presenting this event outside the municipality responds to our intention to make it an unavoidable event for all lovers of good food, both in Cartagena and the rest of the Region of Murcia.
The quality of our gastronomic offer has become a fundamental pillar of our tourist attractions, precisely why we decided to participate last year in the largest regional event in this area, which is Murcia Gastronomic.
In this regard, the deputy mayor recalled that "in the line of action of the Area of ​​Economic Strategy of the City of Cartagena that I honor in directing, we set as a priority objective the projection of our tourism, cultural and gastronomic offer outside Cartagena, Special emphasis on the regional promotion of our products, not in vain in this Region live more than one million people less than 1 hour drive from our city. "
Among the novelties of this edition are the improvements in the programming of parallel activities to the event, with concerts of great quality and variety of musical styles, reinforcement of the children's workshops, with which it is sought to adapt Cartagena Sabor to the needs of family tourism , And with the diversification of gastronomic offer.
Thus, this time there will be a specific cover for vegans, a variety of cuisines in the world as Italian and Hindu, also examples of the success of the fusion between Mediterranean and Japanese cuisines, a sweet tapa and a magnificent pairing with wines from the countryside of Cartagena de The hand of Bodegas Serrano and our most indigenous gin, V Colinas.
Equally innovative is the participation of other municipalities in this event, which this year has allowed a stand in Cieza, in which the chef in charge of 'SaborArte', Rodi Fernandez, will offer a tasting of dishes from this locality.
"For the City of Cieza this kind of projects are vital to promote cultural values, in which the culinary factor is fundamental to know and understand the lifestyle of each region.
Thus, in Cartagena we will introduce the essence of our fair through the tapas of chef Rodi Fernández, since it was one of the precursors of SaborArte, who knew how to place us in the regional gastronomic panorama.
To conclude, on Sunday, we will have a representation of Ciezan hoteliers, "said the Mayor of Cieza, Pascual Lucas.
