To dismantle the argument that says that you can do everything in the big cities that no other city can offer you, you only have to take a quick look at the leisure agenda in Seville. Its solidity is confirmed by the appearance of events such as OFFF Seville, Guadalcao, the number of fairs and festivals that Seville will host in the coming months or the promising Gastrogarden.
The Magallanes Park will host this event from November 15 to 17. The event will revolve around the best of Sevillian cuisine paired with musical proposals and a rich program of activities for all profiles.
The idea is a stroke of genius. Bringing together in an outdoor space the best restaurants in the city integrating music as another character of the experience over three days. Signature tapas, live music, attend a dj session while tasting excellent wines or witnessing an authentic tuna ronqueo.
Gastrogarden goes beyond fantasy and moves all these assumptions to the environment next to Torre Sevilla. An ambitious proposal that promises to become a reference (and a must) in the capital of Seville.
Program of activities
While gastronomy will lead these days, Gastrogarden will have different and interconnected areas. The “La Tapería” will bring together the participating restaurants offering a signature tapa from their kitchens at the same price.
In other words: having the opportunity to taste incredible bites from the hand of the spaces that are raising the gastronomic scene of Seville at a reasonable price.
In the absence of knowing in depth the full program, it will feature a full calendar of activities and gastromusical experiences. From showcookings and musical tastings, markets of local products and crafts linked to the culinary world.
There will also be tastings, small courses on specific topics, talks and a space dedicated to the sweetest cravings. All this will be harmonized with activities and workshops for children and green areas equipped with benches and chairs. Music will be an inseparable element of the event with bands and DJ sessions throughout the weekend.

Which restaurants will participate in Gastrogarden?
One of the big questions is to know which restaurants will be part of the festival. It is known that Sr. Cangrejo, Barra Baja, Veganí, 12 tapas, Sal Gorda, De la O, Marabunda, Cal Viva, Rescoldo, Desacato, El Limón or Palo Cortao will be among the definitive gastronomic labels.
Up to 14 gastronomic references of Seville will meet at Magallanes Park on November 15, 16 and 17. Be sure to check this article and Gastrogarden’s networks to stay updated.
Who are behind the project
Gastrogarden is a proposal born from the union between Rocknrolla Producciones (responsible, for example, of Electrolunch or Pop CAAC) and Restaura Truck. The latter, led by Javier Ocaña, has more than 10 years of experience in the organization of gastronomic events, with a fleet of food trucks and its own catering.
The festival has the support and sponsorship of various public institutions and private companies, including Seville City Council Tourism, the Seville Territorial Delegation of Tourism, Culture and Sport of the Junta de Andalucía, and Torre Sevilla.
