In total the festival will offer 50 different culinary proposals aimed at satisfying the demands of all the members of the audience.
Casa Primavera, located in the Primavera Bits area, will host three exceptional chefs during the main days of the festival, who will organize tailor-made gourmet set menus. The festival will welcome Diego Guerrero (DSTAgE) on Saturday 2nd June, the Mexican chef Eduardo ‘Lalo’ García (Máximo Bistrot) on Friday 1st June and Douglas McMaster (Silo) on Thursday 31st May. In order to achieve the full potential of the experience, there will also be an option of food and wine pairing courtesy of Wineissocial and their sommelier César Cánovas.
