Dénia looks for tourists who love gastronomy in Madrid
One more year, and following the path of recent years, Dénia is once again present at the Madrid Fusión Gastronomic Congress, which this year celebrates its 20th edition under the slogan "Beyond the product". Dénia will participate from the Saborea España space, an association of gastronomic destinations of which it has been a part since 2015, together with other cities such as A Coruña, Cambrils, Ciudad Real, Cullera, Gran Canaria, La Palma, Lanzarote, León, Logroño, Pamplona and Segovia.
From March 28 to 30, at Madrid Fusión, Saborea España will be the epicenter of Spanish gastronomy with the organization of different workshops and gastronomic presentations by the destinations participating in this edition.
The gastronomy of Dénia will be represented in a stand attended by professionals from Dénia Tourism and with the presence of the mayor of the city, Vicent Grimalt, the president of the Hospitality Association, Cristina Sellés, the manager of the entity, Remedios Cerdá and different restaurateurs from Denia.
The Michelin star chef José Manuel López Iglesias, from the Peix i Brases restaurant, will offer a master class on the main stage of Saborea España this afternoon, entitled “Evolutionary cuisine in Dénia-Marina Alta: from tradition to the sustainable avant-garde”.
On Tuesday, the 29th, the organization of Madrid Fusion and the Turium Institute, in collaboration with Saborea España, organize the I International Meeting of Gastronomic Tourism, in which the three-Michelin-starred chef Quique Dacosta will participate. Dacosta will chat with the journalist Jesús Trelis about excellence as a tourist ingredient.
In parallel, each destination will present a tapa, offering tastings to congress participants, selected prescribers, as well as the Minister of Industry, Commerce and Tourism, Reyes Maroto, who has confirmed her attendance.
For this occasion, chef José Manuel López will prepare a tapas salad of shrimp and eel with sea urchin, which will be accompanied by white wine from Bodega Les Freses.
A high influx to this gastronomic congress is expected once the restrictions of the pandemic have been eliminated.
