Field notes
The site credits the idea to José María Téllez, “Popi,” and says he began cutting ham in Estepona at thirteen. It traces the festival from 55 firms over four days in 2014 to a 2026 edition described as ten nights and more than a kilometre of exhibitors. The site also says municipal event balances for 2022, 2023 and 2026 each exceeded half a million visits.
