The regional secretary of Tourism, Francesc Colomer, attended the awards ceremony of the Comunidad Valenciana Gastronomy Academy in Alicante, where he announced that 2023 “is going to be a very important year for the gastronomy of the region”.
He explained that the Comunidad Valenciana is to host two important gastronomic events this year: the Soles Repsol Guide which will be held in Alicante on February 27th, and the ‘The World’s 50 Best Restaurants’ gala dinner, which will hosted in Valencia during the month of June.
Colomer defended the commitment of the Generalitat Valenciana to promote the Valencian region as a gastronomic destination and explained that “we have to fight for it because nobody is going to give it to us” as well as expressing the importance of “generating great alliances”.
