European Spice Association

HOSTED BY AFEXPO

AFEXPO once again has the honor, as in 2014, of hosting the General Assembly of the European Spice Association, from Wednesday, May 29 to Friday, May 31, 2024, which will take place in the city of Murcia.

Murcia, thanks to its location in the South East of the Iberian Peninsula, close to the Mediterranean Sea, enjoys more than 3,000 hours of sun annually and mild temperatures. The average annual temperatures stay around 18 º C, which makes it an ideal holiday destination at any time of the year.

The current Murcia has inherited a splendid millenary past. Streets, monuments, the Cathedral, buildings, the river are lasting part of a city that has experienced an amazing growth in the last years.

Walking through its streets you can still see the old medieval urban structure of Andalucian era, that in the past divided religions and now they have become beautiful pedestrian streets, home to a major retailer commercial sector and traditional shops.

Without a doubt Murcia’s food is one of the most attractive points for tourists. The Murcians have successfully made the most of all they have on offer, keeping the healthy traditions of the Mediterranean diet and adding imagination, creativity and skill. In Murcia the “tapeo” is an art. There is a considerable variety of “tapas”, hot or cold, with different origins, from the most ancestral stews to the nouvelle cuisine which can be enjoyed everywhere.

Murcia is known by the nickname of the “Garden of Europe”, thanks to its famous and fertile lands, highlights for its agro-food industry, among others.

Modern, accessible, well connected by two international airports, an extensive road network and modern hotel facilities, make it one of the best cities to celebrate important meetings and conferences.
