Germany celebrates the Catalan National Day with a culinary journey of discovery

Germany celebrated Catalonia's National Day around the theme of food, since in June Catalonia was named "World Region of Gastronomy 2025" by the International Institute of Gastronomy, Culture, Arts and Tourism.

The celebrations organised by the Catalan Government Delegation to Germany featured a culinary journey of discovery with a tasting of products carrying origin and quality labels, such as Penedès wines and sparkling wines, DOP Siurana extra virgin olive oil, Santa Pau beans, Ebro Delta rice, Reus hazelnuts and L'Escala anchovies. 

Barcelona's Kebyart saxophone quartet opened the evening with modern interpretations of classical pieces. The four talented musicians share not only a passion for chamber music but also the desire to breathe new life into classical music.
