EXPOVICAMAN , the Agricultural and Livestock Fair of Castilla-La Mancha, celebrates its 41st edition in 2025. It is, without a doubt, the most important agricultural and livestock fair in Castilla-La Mancha, and one of the most important nationwide. To continue writing its own history, EXPOVICAMAN once again chooses the Albacete Fairgrounds as the venue for the event. The venue, as we already know, was created to host the city's agricultural and livestock fair, making it the most emblematic and unique space to host this fair. A perfect fusion of tradition and innovation that will make this fair, once again, the most important event in the sector in our region. https://expovicaman.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/02/EXPOVICAMAN-DOSSIER-2025.pdf
