Gastrobotany

Wild haute cuisine

Catalonia is currently one of the places in the world with the most high-level restaurants in terms of gastronomic quality. Some of its current establishments or in the recent past have rewritten the history of contemporary cuisine. In many of them and especially in El Celler de Can Roca, which Naturalwalks represents with the Terra Animada project, its cuisine is also explained through the connection with the territory, the landscape and the ingredients of natural origin. On this outing you can take a route that connects the territory from the coast to the Pyrenees, through the more than 150 wild species used in the last decade and their relationship with the dishes, territories, ideas and types of cuisine they represent. A fresh walk, very diff erent, wild, lively, provocative and above all very contemporary.
