From April 16 to 19, Pradogrande Park in Torrelodones will become a hub for Galician gastronomy enthusiasts, offering a wide selection of seafood and musical entertainment.

Over four days, visitors will have the opportunity to taste a wide variety of marine delicacies, including octopus, spider crab, velvet crab, scallops, razor clams, prawns, king prawns, oysters, squid, and baby squid, all available at the various stalls set up in the venue.

"The fair will help revitalize the Colonia area, offering residents an attractive and different plan in Torrelodones, while boosting the local economy of the municipality."
