Discovering inland Spain

Living the gastronomic experience

In inland Spain, gastronomy is much, much more than simply sitting down to eat. It is a genuine way of life in which you are warmly invited to take part. Scouring the forest in search of wild mushrooms, enjoying the pleasures of Spain's gastronomic festivals, visiting food-themed museums... and even the chance to form part of a culinary team led by one of Spain's top chefs! Come and savour life to the full.

Aragon

Food and agricultural tourism

Discover for yourself how to make wine, oil, cheese, sausages, beer, sweets… In Aragon you'll find businesses that organise this type of activities through guided visits. Let the winery owner himself show you the tanks, barrels and the bottling plant; see at first hand a typical almazara (oil press) in operation; discover the secrets of pastry-making in the only private cake and pastry-themed museum in Aragon; visit one of the oldest beer factories in Spain… Sound appetising?

Gastronomic visits to Zaragoza

If you don't believe you can actually taste a city, you're completely mistaken. In Zaragoza you'll have the chance to experience two guided visits which are absolutely mouth-watering. The 'Chocotour' will show you the sweetest chocolate-makers in the city, and the 'Saborea Zaragoza' ('Taste Zaragoza') tour will uncover the origins and the flavours of the typical gastronomy of Zaragoza. The activities involve a visit to a food workshop, and the chance to sample typical products in traditional establishments.

Wine tourism

Are you familiar with the Somontano Wine Route ? In the province of Huesca you'll find wineries where you can sample the best wines in the region. What's more, you'll also be able to visit vineyards, take part in guided tasting sessions and take some of your favourite wine back home with you.
