Arriquiñam is the answer to the unspoken question of how one can condense in one word the essence of an event. And it delivers what it promises: in a sort of strange morphological analysis, it is not difficult to guess that it refers to a musical festival for the “arriqui” part and, in turn, a gastronomic one for the “ñam” (“yum”) part. For what it is necessary more context is to know that it is celebrated in Colmenar Viejo from this Friday until next Sunday, June 16.
The venue chosen for this appointment with music and the gastronomy has been the bullring of the Madrid town, where “the best chefs and their food trucks will be installed , accompanied by live music and entertainment,” say the organizers.
Another important fact to know is that access to the Arriquiñam festival is free until full capacity is reached. That is to say: you only pay for the drinks you have at the different foodtrucks.
Which foodtrucks will you find in Arriquiñam?
At the moment it has been announced that the following food trucks will be present:
