The Sant Joan d’Alacant booth at Alicante Gastronómica has established itself as one of the must-visit spots at this year’s event. Over the course of three intense days, our town brought the best of its culinary identity to the fairgrounds, demonstrating that Sant Joan is all about gastronomy, heritage, culture, and, above all, a passion for well-crafted food.
Throughout the fair, locals and visitors were able to enjoy live cooking demonstrations, exclusive tastings, and raffles at our booth, all of which highlighted traditional recipes.
The resounding success of our participation in the fair was the result of a joint effort by the entire community. On behalf of the Sant Joan d’Alacant City Council, we would like to express our most sincere gratitude to the local hospitality businesses, restaurants, shops, and producers who actively collaborated at our booth. In particular, we would like to thank:
- The Merchants’ Association, for its contribution toward holding the traditional beverage raffles.
- La Chocolatería San Juan for the San Juan potato tasting
- TerraDulce, for the slushie tasting
- Hanami, for its cocktail tasting
- Bakano Restaurant, for the tasting of its Colombian empanadas and the live cooking demonstration of shrimp ceviche

- La Pastisseria, for its sweet and savory cocas tasting

Thanks to their dedication, professionalism, and enthusiasm, we have succeeded in showcasing our town in the best possible light and establishing Sant Joan as a leading culinary destination in the L’Alacantí region.
Thank you all for making this unforgettable event possible and for continuing to shape the future of Sant Joan!
