Notable presence of Nerja in FITUR

The mayor of Nerja, José Alberto Armijo, has made “a very positive balance of the presence of the town at the International Tourism Fair FITUR, which has made a strong commitment to environmental tourism, active tourism and gastronomy ” Also, Armijo stressed that “it has been a great satisfaction to have our own stand at FITUR and have the great reception we have had throughout the fair.”

Nerja, between the sea and the sky has been the motto used by the town to promote and spread the wide variety of the destination, both nationally and internationally. The tourist potential of Nerja has been reflected in FITUR in a 40 edition in which, according to data provided by IFEMA, it has registered a 5% increase in the attendance of professionals and a new record of visits.

The Councilor for Tourism, Gema García, explained that “visitors to our stand have been able to check the town first hand, thanks to the demonstrations of experiences of virtual reality shared that have been made during each of the days. In addition, visitors to the stand have been surprised by less known scenarios such as the Pico del Cielo, the highest coastal peak of the peninsula’s coastline at more than 1500 meters of altitude ”.

Gastronomy has also been a strong point in the Nerja stand. The chef of the Patanegra 57 restaurant, Sergio Paloma, has performed different showcooking based on native products such as choto and sweet potato, as well as avocado and mango, tropical products grown in the Nerja area.
