Festival Enogastronómico Saborea #Lanzarote – 26 y 27 de Noviembre

If you love food and enjoy the chance to sample exceptional food and wines at “incredible” prices then this event is one you should not miss. Last year we arrived and purchased our tickets (there is no entrance free you just purchase tickets and exchange them for food and drink) most items cost just €1 or €2 so you can have “tapa and glass of wine” for €3! Well we did say the prices were incredible.

Having attended previously we knew there would be lots of choice so we decided to have a walk around first and see exactly what was on offer and what we would like to try. Of course we accompanied our meander with a glass of wine and took in the delights of International, Spanish and local Canarian cuisine that was available. In addition there are cooking displays, musical entertainment and so much more, it really is a wonderful event.

We all wanted to try different things which was great as we could share and taste different items, we started with mini burgers, tortilla, paella, prawns, mini wraps, and a selection of meats and cheeses. One of the great things is that the prices are so low you can try items that you otherwise might have wanted to try in a restaurant but were nervous about ordering a full portion; this is now your chance to try and enjoy.

Tickets are available from numerous stands around the event so you can replenish as and when necessary. As well as food there is a fabulous choice of wines and beers as well as well as soft drinks and hot beverages. Having had our fill of savoury items we decided to move on to “pudding” well what can we say? Pastries, cakes we tried them all. One of the most delicious was a chocolate torte that we finished with and we all agreed in was a winner!

Another thing we should add is that you can purchase and take away food so we left with bags of goodies that lasted us for days…taking care of course that you store them correctly.

So if you want to sample gourmet food and exceptional wines ensure you attend this weekend. It really is brilliant and well worth a visit. Team LBRA

Plenty of parking is available but if you want to sample a few wines and beers extra bus services have been added.
