The 26th Villa de Bembibre Agri-Food Fair returns as part of the International Botillo Festival

The Bembibre Arena will once again become a culinary hub with the 26th Villa de Bembibre Agri-Food Fair, which will take place from Friday, February 6, to Sunday, February 8, 2026. A total of 34 exhibitors from different parts of Spain—and one from France—will present to the public a wide selection of agri-food products, artisanal goods, and culinary specialties.

From cured meats to pickles, including sweets and baked goods, honey, olive oil, dairy products, nuts, and even a booth run by the Bierzo Agri-Food Association—not to mention wines with a Designation of Origin. Here are some of the products visitors will be able to find at the Fair, which will officially open its doors on Friday, February 6, at 7:00 p.m.

The opening ceremony and ribbon-cutting will feature Héctor Aláiz, the Government’s subdelegate in León, marking the start of a weekend dedicated to promoting food quality as part of the International Festival Celebrating Botillo.

The 26th Agri-Food Fair will remain open through Sunday, February 8, with the following hours:

• Mornings: 11:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m.
• Afternoons: 5:00 p.m. to 9:00 p.m.
• On Friday, only in the afternoon

The participating exhibitors represent the autonomous communities of Castile and León, Andalusia, the Community of Madrid, Cantabria, Castile-La Mancha, Extremadura, and Galicia.

In addition, the community restaurant will offer a botillo menu to those who wish to sample this dish on the premises. The service will be available:

• Friday: dinners
• Saturday: Lunch and dinner
• Sunday: meals

The price of the set menu will be 14 euros.

Those interested can make reservations by calling 670 62 14 52.

Tastings and Children’s Workshops

The Fair features activities scheduled throughout its three-day run. On Saturday, February 7, there will be a ham-cutting demonstration for attendees from 12:00 p.m. to 3:00 p.m. The following day, Sunday, anyone who wishes to do so can sample a “bollo preñado” provided by the Festival Committee. It will be at 6 p.m.
