Gastronomy and wine tourism

With over 100 kilometres of blue Mediterranean coastline, it is easy to understand why the municipalities of Costa Barcelona have such a close relationship with the sea. The origins of many villages, towns and cities in Maresme, Barcelonès, Baix Llobregat and Garraf, lie in fishing, maritime trade and shipbuilding – origins that for many of these places are by no means a distant memory. Along this stretch of coastline, fishing remains one of the main industries – a fact that you can see for yourself, if you visit any of the seafood auctions that take place on the region's quaysides every day.

Some journeys are made by foot, while we carry others in our hearts. Then there are those we discern on our palates. When a tasting takes you to the past, when a flavour awakens a memory you thought long forgotten, you know you have found that corner of the world that speaks your language. The food tours in the Lluçanès, Garraf, Penedès and Montserrat regions are just like that: a journey following the roots and authentic flavours that link us to the land, the people and their enduring traditions. On this tour, bread, truffles, cottage cheese and coca (Catalan flatbread) are not just food, but stories that unfold with every bite. Get ready for a delicious adventure, where time stands still and your appetite grows. Are you ready for a delicious journey?

Delve into the culture of olive oil in the regions of Barcelona and discover why this liquid gold is so much more than a cooking ingredient. Visit places where the authenticity of the landscape merges with the ancient history of olive tree cultivation, discovering all the tradition and flavour of olive oil, and the passion it arouses. Don’t miss out on these unique experiences and the chance to taste a selection of high-quality olive oils, each with its own unique personality.

You will eat very well in the regions around Barcelona. Whether you are sitting in your grandmother's kitchen, a traditional inn, a small mountain restaurant, coastal fish markets or open-air markets, you will enjoy an array of aromas, colours and flavours that will allure even the most discerning palates. However, if you want to enjoy a top-notch culinary experience, book a table at any of the Michelin-starred restaurants. You will be spoilt for choice! Every year, many venues in the province are recognised for their work with a Michelin star..

Exploring the Via Blava Anoia is much more than just walking or cycling along the river: it means immersing yourself in the peaceful life of the villages, sampling the local cuisine and staying in places that will make you feel at home. Whether you are looking for the silence of a stone farmhouse, the comfort of a hotel with views or the cosy atmosphere of a hostel, here you will find your perfect place to rest. 

Anoia is a region to be discovered step by step, along rivers and trails, but also tasted at the table. Its gastronomy reflects an agricultural and livestock land, marked by the balance between tradition and creativity. No need for great artifices: typical dishes of Anoia are born from local products, cooked with simplicity and wisdom. A landscape that enters through the eyes and stays on the palate.
