Almoradi’s Tourism councillor José Antonio Latorre with mayor, María Gómez García.
ALMORADI in the heart of Vega Baja has now been awarded ‘Cultural Town of the Year’. Culture is a big part of Almoradi’s identity and it goes way back to a theatre built in 1908 by a local named Don Mariano Cortés. This laid the foundation for a long tradition of cultural involvement. But it’s not just the arts that shine in Almoradi,
the town’s food scene is also famous. Thanks to its gardens, Almoradi has a rich culinary tradition focused on its prized artichokes. Since the 1960s, these tasty treats have been celebrated, leading to the creation of the ‘Alcachofa Vega Baja del Segura’ Quality Mark and the Restaurant Association. Turn to page 2
