Leisure in Seville seems to be coming of age with the consolidation of projects and events that go beyond mere mass gatherings to offer unique attractions. This is demonstrated by the return of one of the most anticipated events of the spring, the second edition of Gastrogarden, taking place from May 15 to 17.
For this occasion, it will be held on the Paseo de Marqués de Contadero, a regular venue for gastronomic events.
The event promises to blend the excellence of local cuisine with live music and activities designed to appeal to audiences of all tastes.
The concept is flawless: bringing together top restaurants along the banks of the Guadalquivir River, combining haute cuisine in a mini-format with tastings, guided food and wine tours, workshops, live cooking demonstrations, and concerts.
Gastrogarden avoids clichés and turns urban haute cuisine into an accessible experience with dozens of parallel activities. We’ve compiled them all below.
Program of activities
While gastronomy will be the focus of these days, Gastrogarden will feature different, interconnected zones. At “La Tapería,” participating restaurants will gather to offer a signature tapa from their kitchens at a single price. “La Dulcería, ” dedicated to sweet treats, will also return.
