Barcelona Degusta
Food Festival and Market
Four years after its last celebration,
Barcelona Degusta returned with a new
edition to become positioned as Barce-
lona’s great, popular festival of food and
drink. Thanks to the show’s timing – it
coincided with local celebrations for La
Mercè – it attracted a huge audience
to the Montjuïc venue, confirming the
wisdom of the decision to stage the event
during the city’s
fiesta mayor
.
The activities included Degusta Experi-
ence, little sister of The Alimentaria Experi-
ence, whose first edition brought together
27 chefs with a total of 10 Michelin stars
to lead no fewer than 90 activities. More
than 6,000 people saw figures like Joan
Roca, Carme Ruscalleda and Carles Gaig
in action, as they took part in show cook-
ing, workshops and food tasting events.
Other attractions included BCN&Cake,
devoted to create cake and pastry mak-
ing, and the Degusta Beer Festival, a cel-
ebration of craft beer. Moreover, 25 food
trucks were parked in Plaça de l’Univers
to give the public a taste of street food.
