The Marbella City Council recognizes the enogastronomic excellence of eleven establishments

This Thursday, the Marbella City Council presented the first awards of the 'Tasting Marbella' project at the Business Incubator in Plaza de Los Naranjos, an enogastronomic initiative promoted by the Commerce department with the collaboration of the Tourism council and the support of the Andalusian Regional Government. In this initial phase, eleven establishments have received a quality seal for their commitment to local products, personalized service, and the creation of unique culinary experiences.

The event was attended by the Commerce Councilor, María José Figueira, and the Andalusian Government's Regional Tourism Delegate in Málaga, Carlos García, who presented the awards to the selected establishments: Hotel La Fonda Heritage, La Bodega de la Fonda, Perita, Katando, Picoteando, El Nene, Casa Pablo, Vinacoteca Castillejos, Champagne y Ostras, Maruja Limón, and Bakoa.

"It is a joy for me to accompany you today in the presentation of these first awards, which recognize not only the gastronomic quality but also the commitment to an offering with its own identity," said the councilor, who especially thanked the regional government’s support and the work of the entire technical and coordinating team of the project, emphasizing that the initiative is designed to be enduring. "We want Marbella to continue being a culinary reference throughout the year, with special attention to our old town and central area," she stated.

"Much more than a seal"

For his part, García congratulated the City Council and the awarded businesses and highlighted that "'Tasting Marbella' is much more than a seal; it is an invitation to experience the city through its flavors." He also valued the institutional collaboration that makes projects like this possible, framed in the Large Cities Touristic Plan, co-financed by the Andalusian Regional Government and the City Council.

Among the program's objectives are the creation of a network of participating establishments that will include restaurants, tapas bars, pastry shops, gourmet stores, and rooftops; the design of thematic routes; the development of unique experiences; and the delivery of quality distinctions.
