Benalmádena Marina is getting ready to host another edition of a popular gastronomic event… the Food Truck Experience. It’s the fifth time this unique culinary experience – which is having great success in other towns and cities – is celebrated here.
The event, which takes place from the 5th to the 7th May, kicks off the ‘Food Truck Experience’ calendar which has other experiences planned throughout the spring and summer season along the coast. Fancy tasting some of this yummy food? You just need to head down to the parking area of the Marina located next to the new Ferris Wheel from Friday to Sunday. There should be a great buzz down there as the Food Truck Experience also offers live music performances throughout the day.
For those unfamiliar with the term ‘Food Truck’, this unique formula for preparing and selling food is having great success in other countries, especially in the United States where you’ll find food trucks on, practically, every street corner.
Visitors to the event will be able to enjoy the exquisite aromas and tastes of dishes from all over the world, prepared in each of the food trucks by expert chefs. The organisers expect a total of 9 food trucks for this tasty weekend!
The ‘Food Truck Experience’ will be open to the public from 1:00pm to midnight each day and will also offer live music throughout the day (see list of performances below). Foodies will also be able to enjoy music sets from a DJ and the little ones will be kept busy in the kid’s area set up next to the main food court area. They’ll also be able to enjoy a special kiddies show for kids on Sunday 7th May at 3:00pm.
