A New Distinctive in Catalan Gastronomy


The Departament d’Empresa i Ocupació de la Direcció General de Turisme of Catalonia has introduced a official gastronomic distinctive in Catalonia.

There are some technical requirements that the little hotels (with less than 50 rooms) have to do if they want to take part of this new project. It has been done exclusively for small establishments. Indeed they will have to guarantee the identity and the authenticity of the product. All of their dishes must be Catalan and made with proximity products, Denominació d’Origen Protegits and with a Protect Geographic Identity.


It is formed by a good number of small hotels and hostels that offer accommodation and a high quality gastronomy, characteristics from Catalonia. They use to be establishments really closed to the Land.
This new project is a strategy to easier identify these establishments making a singular distinctive of quality and it will be a new touristic offer.

The Direcció General de Turisme has worked hard in this new project to give support to the interior tourism, which have two entities of reference: Associació de fondes de Catalunya and the Institut Català de la Cuina.



We think that these kinds of strategies make the tourism of Catalonia more specialized and it can become popular for its specialties. It will encourage some establishments to dedicate more effort in enhancing their quality, especially in gastronomy in this case. We hope that this strategy has a good impact in our tourism.



What do you think about that? Do you think it would be successful?


See you soon!

  1. I think so. All the strategies to increase the knowledge of catalan traditions abroad must be promoted. As is becoming the custom, the world is tending to be minimized. Every country has to protect hardly all the small details that make the land odd and special.

  4. I think it might be a great opportunity to expand our culture and cuisine. Thanks for putting this on the blog because I did not know that they had done this and I think all hotels should do this.
