DURING the first days of October, residents in Guardamar del Segura will experience a truly mouth-watering event, overfilled with Spanish tradition and charm: the third edition of the delicious Croqueta Week is in full swing beginning on Monday, September 29, until October 5, and will fuse creativity, flavour, and tourism, all in one crunchy bite.

For this week, 16 local restaurants in Guardamar del Segura will offer some of their best croquetas, from the most traditional to the most modern and innovative. Every savoury bite will be a love letter to this typical Spanish delicacy, in an event that locals as well as tourists can enjoy.

Croqueta Week, which has become the signifier for the coming of the autumn season in Guardamar del Segura, is a gastronomic journey that combines the creativity of local chefs: croquetas in every flavour will be in the spotlight for this week, including ham, chicken, octopus, and even more unusual flavours like kebab. The croquetas will be available for just €3.50, including a drink to wash down the flavourful Spanish treat.

In addition to being a delicious gastronomic event, Croqueta Week also invites visitors to get to know the charming town of Guardamar del Segura, visit its local restaurants, and meet its talented and creative chefs. Tourists in search of their favourite flavours will traverse beaches, dunes, and more urban areas of the town, making it a perfect chance for tourism as well as a tasty treasure hunt.

The Guardamar del Segura Town Hall affirms: “Participating in Croqueta Week is, in the end, a delicious excuse to rediscover Guardamar and allow it to win you over, for its gastronomy and also for its Mediterranean lifestyle.”
