A LOCAL hospitality association held, in October, a special new activity which included a draw for the ‘Flavours of Almeria’ baskets, participated in by those who took part in the inaugural edition of The Breakfast Route. The Provincial Association of Hospitality Entrepreneurs of Almeria, or ASHAL, were the hosts of the special draw and highlighted the warm, excited reception of the new activity which saw many participants from all over the province. Almeria’s breakfast bonanza The Breakfast Route of Almeria ran from September 12 to October 12 and saw the participation of more than 30 establishments in the province of Almeria, with the aim of rewarding loyal customers. Customers could complete a stamp card during the Breakfast Route by visiting five different breakfast venues. Coaster packs created by members of the Arte 21 Occupational Centre of the Down Almeria Association were given to customers who completed the stamp cards. Additionally, the draw included prizes consisting of gourmet baskets of ‘Flavours of Almeria’ products, valued between €50 and €100. Blowout breakfast event ‘very likely’ to continue due to strong participation Said ASHAL president Pedro Sánchez-Fortún, “We’re honestly very surprised by the great response to this new gastronomic activity we’ve launched, which even led us to extend its duration due to the high level of participation.” Indeed, the event was originally only intended to last a little more than two weeks, and ended up being extended to a month-long affair. Sánchez-Fortún took note of the great interest and participation for the special inaugural route, and stated he would not rule out a second edition of the Route “given the interest it has generated among both customers and hospitality businesses. So, if we continue to receive support from the authorities and sponsors, it’s very likely we’ll keep this initiative going.” Almeria’s shining gastronomy Creative, fun, and motivational initiatives such as the Breakfast Route continue to emblazon Almeria as a wonderful province not only for leisure, beach, and sports tourism, but as a considerable Andalucian powerhouse for gastronomy. The region, which is gaining more and more fame as a desirable spot for delicious Mediterranean cuisine, is a shining beacon for foodies and those interested in trying various new restaurants and hotspots.
