Catalonia is for foodies
The writer Josep Pla wrote that Catalan cuisine is its landscape in a dish. The Mediterranean essence is at the very heart of our traditional gastronomy, which includes such famous dishes as cannelloni or crema catalana. This historical legacy has inspired innovative offerings from chefs such as the Roca brothers, Ferran Adrià and Carme Ruscalleda. Chefs both in the past and in today's gastronomic avant-garde have made quality, local produce the cornerstone of their recipes, which have made Catalonia a culinary reference worldwide.
