By our very nature we merge in some way with the environment when we eat. In most cultures, eating has one basic function social. Around food, a set of rules, often very strict, that give meaning and identity to each group takes hold.
Therefore, as a way of projecting the essence of La Palma to tourism, the project "Saborea La Palma" (Taste La Palma) was born with the aim of to promote the economic, social and tourist development of the island through its gastronomy.
To this end, a series of actions and proposals are presented below, the common thread of which is the gastronomy of La Palma, not only in terms of catering but also in terms of the origin of the product.
Chefs Mariana Hernández and Pedro Castillo will represent the flavours of the island at one of the most important culinary fairs in the country.
La Palma continues to promote its gastronomy at various important national events, such as San Sebastián Gastronomika 2024, which will take place from the 7th to the 9th of October at the Kursaal Palace. The chefs Mariana Hernández and Pedro Castillo will take part in this outstanding event through Saborea La Palma, a programme attached to the Tourism Department of the Cabildo de La Palma, to showcase their talent and the quality of the island's products.
