On February 11, 2023, the Festival Nacional de Exaltación del Botillo celebrated its 50th Anniversary Gala. The Manuel Marqués Patarita pavilion was filled to capacity for both the institutional event and the subsequent dinner, which was attended by more than 1,800 people. It was the largest botillo tasting dinner to date. […]

Bembibre' Botillo Festival connects with Antarctica where a group of scientists and soldiers from the Army took advantage of the celebration to taste the 'king' sausage cooked with iceberg water.

Taking advantage of the presence of the President of the Spanish Football Federation as maintainer, the World Cup won by 'la roja' in 2010 came to Bembibre where it remained on display to the public and presided over the Botillo gala dinner.

The 18th February 2011 Bembibre’s council oficialy opened the Bembibre Arena. The Bembibre Arena emerged as a multipurpose venue, and among its non-sports uses it was proposed that it be the headquarters of the Farm and Food Fair, as it has been since the inauguration of the pavilion. For the occasion, Manuel Chaves Third Vice President of the Government attended the event.

With a symbolic character, Bembibre took his emblematic sausage to Cape Verde, within the framework of the twinning protocol between the town of Boeza and the Chamber of Sâo Domingos. He was the first international Botillo.

The Permanent Tourism Commission of Castilla y León valued the Bembibre City Council's proposal to qualify for the Badge of Honour of Castilla y León awards. This recognition serves to reward the relevant services provided to the tourism sector in its various forms.

The growing interest in participating in the Festival del Botillo de Bembibre made it necessary to have a space that could accommodate a larger number of diners. In 1995, the complicated challenge of taking the event out of the New Brothers Restaurant was decided.

During the years 1988 and 1989 there were specific cultural activities that culminated in 1990 with the reinstatement and consecration of the Botillo Cultural Week.

The first Cultural Week takes place, which would be interrupted a year later until its reinstatement in 1990.

The third edition of the Bembibre's Botillo Festival would be preceded by the rule that will mark the future of the gastronomic event: its celebration on the Saturday preceding the Saturday of Carnival.
