Expoterraria Granada

Expoterraria is an international trade fair that has established itself as a key platform for reptiles, amphibians, invertebrates, fish, exotic plants, and small mammals. Its name combines "Expo" – short for "exhibition" – and "Terraria", referring to the responsible care and keeping of animals in terrariums, clearly signaling the fair’s thematic focus right in its title.

The event takes place annually in Granada, located in the southern Spanish region of Andalusia, and is a fixture in the event calendar of the Feria de Muestras Armilla (FERMASA), a modern exhibition center with excellent transport connections and a central location.

The organizer is Reptilia Ediciones, a publishing house specializing in terrarium-related topics, with a strong commitment to education and awareness surrounding exotic animals. With a clear focus on herpetoculture and aquatics, as well as related fields, Expoterraria offers a specialized yet diverse range of exhibits. Visitors can expect up-to-date developments, expert insights, and a wide selection of products and services covering the care, feeding, housing, and equipment needs of exotic species.

As the largest event of its kind in Southern Europe, Expoterraria attracts both national and international exhibitors from sectors such as breeding, trade, veterinary medicine, biology, and environmental education. Among the highlights are high-quality terrariums and aquariums, technical equipment such as lighting and heating systems, substrates, care products, and specialized feed. Tropical and exotic plants – especially those used in paludariums – are also a core part of the exhibition.

A standout feature of the fair is its program of expert lectures and workshops, aimed at both professionals and interested laypeople, including families. Experts provide hands-on knowledge in areas such as species conservation, sustainable animal husbandry, terrarium construction, and legal regulations. Children are introduced to the world of exotic animals through interactive, educational formats designed for playful learning.

The audience is just as diverse: alongside professional breeders, veterinarians, pet industry retailers, and scientists, the fair also attracts dedicated hobbyists, collectors, and animal lovers – all seeking new inspiration, networking opportunities, and products. In this way, Expoterraria serves not only as a marketplace but also as a hub for knowledge exchange and community building within the terrarium-keeping world.

Granada adds extra appeal as the host city: known for its rich cultural heritage and landmarks such as the Alhambra, it provides a vibrant and accessible backdrop for an event that blends expertise, passion, and diversity at a high level.

For anyone looking to experience the world of exotic animals and plants up close, deepen their knowledge, or connect with others in the field, Expoterraria Granada is one of the leading destinations in Europe.

The Expoterraria takes place annually, and therefore for the sixty-ninth time previsibly in May 2026 in Granada.
