Tasting the unique flavours of the land

Smile, you're in luck! You're in a region that is in the midst of a culinary boom: you'll find excellent produce with a zero-carbon footprint, the revival of heritage varieties of fruit and vegetables, all grown with painstaking care. Find out where these delicacies come from, visit wineries and tasting rooms, and discover them at the weekly markets. Seasonal, organic and sustainable produce! The food fair, Mercat de Mercats, is a wonderful occasion to sample local produce and dishes and meet the growers. Try the inspired, and spectacular, creations by chefs from some of Catalonia's great restaurants.
