Torrevieja will be included in the route of The Champions Burger festival for the first time this year, following the event’s success in over fifty cities across Spain. The festival, known for its record-breaking participation, runs from the twentieth of August to the seventh of September. The city’s mayor, Eduardo Dolón, highlighted the importance of such events in enhancing Torrevieja’s image as a vibrant and dynamic city with top-tier leisure and gastronomic offerings.

Around twenty food trucks will participate, each aiming to claim the title of Best Burger in Spain at the Antonio Soria Park. This year’s festival features innovative concepts, including a luminous arch inspired by classic American highways. Visitors can expect a fusion of tradition and innovation, with gourmet burgers made from certified meats and artisanal breads.

The festival not only places Torrevieja on the national gastronomic map, but it also provides local youth and residents with an opportunity to enjoy a unique culinary experience. José Morales, director of The Champions Burger, expressed great enthusiasm about bringing the event to Torrevieja, noting its special energy and diverse audience.

As part of the festivities, attendees will vote for their favourite burgers by scanning QR codes on their purchase tickets. The festival, previously hosted in cities like Madrid and Barcelona, anticipates exceeding its previous record of four million attendees from last year. The national finals will take place in December, where the top thirty-five burger joints will compete for the title of Best Burger in Europe.
