Feria de Muestras en El Pedroso

Introduction and local significance

The Feria de Muestras en El Pedroso takes place this year from 5 to 8 December 2026 in the Sevillian municipality of El Pedroso, located in the heart of the Sierra Morena Sevillana region. This prominent event attracts a large number of visitors around local resources, businesses, and the tourism potential of the area. The fair is supported by the El Pedroso Town Hall and has established itself as a key showcase in December for the mountain economy. A visit allows you to discover the diverse artisanal and agri-food offerings that characterise this territory of Andalusia.

Historical origins and tradition

The fair has been held continuously since 1996, when it began with a very clear initial objective: to promote the local resources of the area, local businesses, and the tourism possibilities of the municipality. Over its numerous editions, this fair has evolved into a driving force for economic and cultural promotion in the region. The initiative was born to highlight the natural and productive heritage of El Pedroso, attracting professionals and visitors interested in the traditional offerings of the Sierra Morena Sevillana each season.
