III Feria de San Valentín “Enamórate de Galapagar”

Introduction and local significance

The III Feria de San Valentín "Enamórate de Galapagar" is an initiative promoted by the Trade Department of the City Council of Galapagar, in the Community of Madrid. This edition, classified as a fair, is held from 29 January to 15 February 2026. The proposal is structured as a promotional campaign focused on local commerce, where customers who make their purchases in participating establishments can enter prize and gift draws.

Historical origins and tradition

In 2026, this event reaches its third edition, organised by the Trade Department of the City Council of Galapagar. As it is an event focused on the local economic and commercial activity, the main dynamic is established through the direct participation of registered businesses. The fair remains a coordinated action between the local council and the municipality's business sector, without other rites or traditions associated with the celebration.

Programme and main events

The official programme of the III Feria de San Valentín "Enamórate de Galapagar" focuses exclusively on the commercial revitalisation campaign that spans the entire period of the event. The main event consists of the draw for gifts and special prizes distributed among those who make their purchases in participating shops. As there is no schedule of face-to-face events, performances or public acts in open spaces, the activity takes place during business hours in each of the 62 registered establishments. The detailed list of these shops can be consulted on the official website of the City Council of Galapagar, galapagar.es, where you can also check the rules of participation in the draws. It is recommended to consult this official portal for any updates or changes to the campaign conditions during the days of the event.

Traditional festival food

Gastronomy's presence in this fair is directly linked to the commercial campaign's system of prizes and gifts. Among the products raffled among participating customers are various traditional dishes and gastronomic products from the area. These culinary items are provided by the participating local shops, allowing consumers who win the draws to obtain specialities from the municipality's gastronomic offer. There are no food fairs or public tastings on public roads, so access to these products is conditional upon participation in the established draw dynamic.

Visitor guide and where to stay

To take part in the fair, it is compulsory to make purchases for a minimum amount of 10 euros in any of the 62 establishments participating in the programme. The complete list of participating shops is available to consult on the official website galapagar.es.

Regarding logistics, if you decide to visit the municipality, it is advisable to plan your journey in advance. On days with the highest turnout, it is preferable to use public transport or look for parking outside the town centre, as this facilitates access to the shopping areas. If you intend to stay overnight, it is best to book accommodation in advance to ensure availability during the dates of the fair. Staying in the municipality itself or in nearby towns makes it easier to follow the commercial activity, being a practical option for visitors. Before travelling, always check the official programme on the city council's website, as opening hours and campaign conditions may be subject to change.
