El D * na Forum Gastronomic, organized by the Dénia City Council and Valencian Community Tourism and which will be held on November 25, 26 and 27 in Dénia, includes multiple conferences and activities to publicize the deep relationship of the region of the Marina Alta with gastronomy and discuss the present and future of a sector that has established itself as one of the main economic engines of the region.
Among the different activities proposed in this framework, the initiative stands out 33 pobles. 33 plats, which was born with the aim of making known the richness of the cuisine of the region showing a characteristic dish of each of its populations. The selection has started from an intense work of reflection to identify each and every one of the towns of the Marina Alta with one of its most characteristic dishes: Dénia i el arròs a banda; Xaló amb herbes fregides bollets; arròs amb crosta of Pego; d´Orba buns; cruet de peix de Xàbia; ambitious prawn of Beniarbeig; Polx putxero to Benissa or arròs from Calp senyoret, are just a few examples.
Together with a complete program of conferences and round tables, the Forum also includes the production of documentaries and environmental and territorial awareness actions. In this sense the curator of the Pep Romany forum says, “We have the firm will to articulate the territory and the only way to do it is to recover the orchard and nearby cattle, handicrafts and traditional crafts that allow to know their protagonists and dignify these tasks. Something that has a lot of future in the current need for sustainability and respect for nature. In this way, the fundamentals that will be used to provide the region with an agri-food and gastronomic system that preserves its way of life, its products and its environment can be identified ”.
The D * na Gastronomic Forum will gather gastronomic critics, journalists, chefs, tourism technicians, consultants, businessmen, farmers and farmers in the next few days in order to listen, learn and reflect on tourism, territory, gastronomy and sustainability
