Alimentaria – An innovative tradeshow for the food sector II.

From March 31st to April 3rd, Alimentaria will again fill practically Fira de Barcelona's entire Gran Via Exhibition Centre, occupying 85,000m2 net space. The organisers estimate over 140,000 visitors, 35% of them from outside Spain. The 50 million Spanish market, as well as a location with tourism of 60 million people from all over the world is a perfect venue for Hungarian food products to be introduced to a wider audience. Alimentaria enjoys the loyalty of professionals and exhibitors from all over the world. This is a reflection of the magnitude of the event as a platform for strategic information and promotion for the food and beverage industry.

Some of the most internationally recognised Spanish chefs will be passing through this space, such as Joan Roca (Restaurant El Celler de Can Roca), Carles Gaig (Restaurant Fonda Gaig), Carme Ruscalleda (Restaurant Sant Pau), Romain Fornell (Restaurant Caelis), Nandu Jubany (Restaurant Can Jubany), Francis Paniego (Restaurant Echaurren) or Maria José San Román (Restaurant Monastrell), among many others. This area will also provide the setting for the final of the Chef of the Year Competition, in which professional chefs from all over Spain will be competing.

The big new feature of this edition will be the space “The Alimentaria Experience”, linked to the Restaurama show, which will encompass all the activities related to restaurants and gastronomy. There will be live culinary demonstrations, culinary master classes and workshops, tasting sessions and conferences, among other activities, with the aim of showing trends and providing inspiration and solutions to restaurateurs.
