Three-day Ron Montero Festival launches on tropical coast of Granada, Spain.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Purveyors of premium rum celebrate rum culture with interactive tours, mixology classes, live music, parties and more at the Ron Montero Festival held on the 6th, 7th & 8th June 2014 in Motril, Granada<\/p>\n

Launched by\u00a0Ron Montero<\/a>,\u00a0Europe’s last remaining rum distillery and taking place in the\u00a0Andalusian\u00a0city of Motril, Ron Montero Festival is\u00a0the ultimate experience for rum lovers.<\/p>\n

Ron Montero has carefully curated a series of interactive\u00a0Food and Cocktail Trails<\/em> for festival-goers to explore the local cuisine. Using the official\u00a0Ron Montero Festival App<\/a>, rum lovers will be able to win points on a virtual passport as they embark on Tapas<\/em>, Night<\/em> or Sweet<\/em> routes through the city and stop off at local foodie hotspots as well as amateur mixology\u00a0workshops. The more points\u00a0amassed the more chance of winning prizes.\"Ron<\/a><\/p>\n

Celebrating every aspect of the spirit, the Ron Montero festival will provide\u00a0revellers with performances by The Monderos who tell tales of the rum harvests,\u00a0live music around the city, an exhibition of giant 50th\u00a0anniversary\u00a0Ron Montero bottles, painting contests and cinema screenings as well as rum-inspired poetry and literature.<\/p>\n

The sub-tropical climate\u00a0has for centuries provided the perfect conditions for growing sugar cane and the\u00a0festival will offer guests a voyage of discovery as Motril opens the doors to its\u00a0rich rum\u00a0lineage. Afiacionados will see the rum-making process first hand and even taste the sugarcane as they are taken on guided tours that roam through the Pre-Industrial Sugar Cane Museum, La Zafra sugarcane farm, Motril History Museum,\u00a0the Interpretation Centre of Sugar Cane and of course the famous Ron Montero Distillery.<\/p>\n

The Ron Montero Festival was launched by Ron Montero, a legendary authority on premium rum who last year celebrated their 50th anniversary and entered the UK market through Amathus Drinks<\/a>. The distillery was founded in 1963 by Francisco Montero and as the only European rum distillery open to the public, Ron Montero is dedicated to\u00a0educating and celebrating the rich rum heritage of the Tropical Coast of Granada and supporting tourism in the region.<\/p>\n

Tickets start at \u20ac10\u00a0and are available at www.ticketea.com\/festivalronmonterodemotril<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The menus from the Food and Cocktail Trail are \u20ac25 and the Tapas are \u20ac9.\u00a0A variety of accommodation is available throughout the city for various budgets. For example, a\u00a0standard room at the Hotel Salobre\u00f1a<\/a> is less than \u20ac50 per night.<\/p>\n
