GATRONOMY

When we talk about gastronomy in Barcelona, we have to talk about Catalan cuisine. A cuisine where we combine heritage, product, territory, creativity, tradition, and innovation. If you visit the city, you can't miss popular dishes like escudella or escalivada, which bring the richness of typical Catalan products to the plate. The products that arrive daily at the markets are key elements in the Mediterranean diet, declared Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity by UNESCO in 2010.

With all these aspects, it's not surprising that Catalonia was declared the European Region of Gastronomy in 2016.
