All of these projects have been recognized by prestigious guides such as Michelin, Repsol, andMacarfi. Javier Abascal explains that:
Javi Abascal’s cuisine right in the heart of the festival
There is something deeply romantic about the idea of savoring fine cuisine, such as that championed by Abascal, to the rhythm of music in one of Seville’s most breathtaking locations: the Plaza de España.
And these culinary delights can be enjoyed before or during the concerts held at Aníbal González’s iconic venue.
The chef highlights why Lalola is returning this year.“Last year’s edition was wonderful thanks to the public’s response and how well the concept was received. That’s why we’re back: because it makes sense, and because the Icónica team has made it easy from day one, with enthusiasm and expertise. For us, it’s important to feel that there’s genuine care behind it.”
What dishes will you be able to try at Icónica?
Lalola’s offering at Icónica is structured around different moments. Guests looking for a quick bite can indulge in their bluefin tuna gilda, the sarina puff pastry with extra virgin olive oil cream, or the mollete from Obrador La Peña with Cádiz-style chicharrón.
