Sunday June 21^st

This day is set aside for the Potato Tortilla aficionados. A contest is being held to determine just who makes the best darn Tortilla in Town. The competition is being put on the by the Association of the Casco Antiqua de Salobreña. This is an association of neighbors.

The competition is simple.. Make a tortilla, have it there with it’s recipe by 1pm, judging starts at 1:30pm. This must be a homemade tortilla from scratch, no cook books please.

A jury will decide the winner, who will in turn win a weekend hotel stay at a 4star hotel for 2.

The jury will be made up from restaurant personnel and the head of the local Culinary school.   As well as all this great food to try and cold beers to be downed, three musical groups will be performing for your enjoyment.

Generally speaking this starts about 130pm and finishes around 4, so don’t leave it to late to enjoy the tortilla contest. Good news for the parents, there will also be a bouncy castle for the little ones.

One of the many tapas sure to be available, delicious Paella

And don’t forget, all this is followed by fire juggling, and partying on the beach on the 23rd for the Annual Fiesta de San Juan. To see some photos, you can refer to June 2008 in the archives, there are plenty of pictures.
