So do you think that it is a good chance for all the people who are interested in Gastronomy, to know more about this topic?


And what do you think about the Barcelona Mobile World Congress? 
We think that, although it's not related with gastronomy, it's related with tourism. Many tourists and professionals are now in Barcelona just to join this experience, and this will help a lot the gastronomic, the tourist and the Hotel sector.

  1. Shows that want to be Girona have their place in the world of cuisine. Contests like this, make the general public can approach the kitchen, often reserved for some minorities.
    Congratulations to those who had the idea, and are organizing it every year to showcase the latest developments in the kitchens.
    I find very interesting workshops and initiation for children.
    For next year, hopefully I can visit it.
