Campero Fest 2025: Málaga’s Most Iconic Sandwich Gets Its Own Festival

If there’s one flavor that defines Málaga, it’s the campero. This round sandwich—filled with chicken, lettuce, tomato, mayonnaise, and melted cheese—is a beloved staple of local life. And this year, for the very first time, it’s getting the spotlight it deserves with its own dedicated festival!

On Sunday, July 6th, the Campero Fest will take place at the Málaga Forum: a gastronomic, cultural, and community-focused event that celebrates this iconic local bite. At Welcome Málaga, we encourage you not to miss it—especially if you want to experience Málaga like a true local.

What to Expect at Campero Fest

• Competition for the Best Campero in Málaga: 10 food trucks will present their take on the classic—ranging from traditional to creative and gourmet versions.

• Public Voting + Professional Jury: You’ll get to taste and vote for your favorite, while a panel of culinary experts crowns the champions.

• Live Music and Local DJs: A festive vibe perfect for enjoying with friends or family.

• Kids’ Zone: Entertainment and games for the little ones.

• Charity Entry Fee: Just €3 to enter, with part of the proceeds going to local non-profits Nada es Imposible and Nunca Solas.
