The 42nd anniversary of the General Trade Fair of Armilla in Granada (Andalusia) will be celebrated this weekend. It is considered to be the longest-running multisectoral event and provides free access to an event which has had its capacity reduced to 33%.
Fermasa, Armilla’s company, will be open this Friday for the General Trade Fair with Flavors of Our Land, and the Fair of the Peoples of Andalusia. These events are two of many that focus on the tourist and gastronomic sectors.
After receiving permission from Board, Santa Juliana will be a showcase venue for the business sector until Sunday. It will also have all security and prevention measures.
Fermasa reported in a statement that the Board of Directors had agreed to reduce fairgrounds’ capacity to 33%. This would mean one person per three square meters.
Fermasa also decided to make this edition of General Trade Fair free to all, in response to the current health crisis. This is a measure to assist businessmen who have chosen to keep their exhibitor this year.
The three fairs will be held simultaneously in the same area, which includes the pavilions as well as the outdoor area. However, there will always be plenty of exhibitors so visitors feel safe.
Visitors will have the opportunity to visit the three fairs uninterruptedly from 11 AM to 11 PM. This will allow them to view the new products of participating companies and enjoy the gastronomy, or “tourism”.
Among the highlights of this year’s innovations are the Malaga and Huesca design exhibitors and the presence from Burgos, Guadalajara and Guadalajara who join Granada for their favourite destinations.
The General Trade Fair attracted more than 225 exhibitors over 60,000 square metres last year and attracted more than 20,000 people.
