After the demonstration visitors will be offered a gastronomic tasting: 'El Pecado de Salzillo' with typical pastries from the area.
Also, a selection of artisan products from Lorquí will be part of the tasting that will be offered on January 24 Day of the Region of Murcia in Fitur, during the visit of the president of the Autonomous Community.
