Alhaurin de la Torre will welcome the inaugural ‘The Burger Cup’ from Thursday, September 25, to Sunday, September 28, at the Recinto Ferial.
The highly popular burger championship, which has toured numerous Spanish cities, promises a delicious experience for street food lovers. Nine top burger brands will be competing, offering visitors to the food fair the chance to savour spectacular burgers and vote for their favourite to crown the event’s champion. Dessert food trucks will also be on site, but bring some wet wipes, as this will be a sticky-fingered affair.
Other than the food, the event will also feature live music, a local tattoo artist, children’s workshops, and exhibitions. A children’s ‘showcooking’ session is scheduled for Saturday, September 27, at 1pm. Sweet-toothed visitors can indulge in desserts crafted by El Señor de las Donas.
The competing burger brands include:
Nache’s de Ávila, known for smoked Avileña beef and artisanal bread.
Smokiemadriz from Madrid, offering slow-cooked, smoked burgers.
Blitz Burger from Murcia, serving high-quality smashburgers.
Briochef.es from Madrid, voted the city’s best burger in 2024 and 2025.
Ficus Burger Food, Andalusia’s representative with its signature pink bun.
Vulcano Grill from Torrejon de Ardoz, featuring a melted cheese syringe.
Burger Lab from Albacete, blending science, meat, and creativity.
Schburger from Valencia, delivering bold flavours.
MrBeast Burger, an international contender from the United States, is making its Spanish debut. Gluten-free buns and kid-friendly burgers will also be available, with prices suited for all budgets.
‘The Burger Cup‘ will be open Thursday from 7pm to midnight, Friday from 7pm to 1am, Saturday from noon to 1am, and Sunday from noon to midnight. Admission is free, and the event is pet-friendly, allowing visitors to bring their dogs.
The exciting culinary showdown is set to be a highlight for Alhaurin de la Torre, combining great food, entertainment, and family-friendly activities.
