The future of history
The 25th Gastronomika
The longest standing culinary congress celebrated its twenty-fifth anniversary amid the main personages in its history. An emotional event signifying a return to the foundational spirit, the spirit of the chefs' congress, where everyone wants to be and be involved. But not only that - the event also demonstrated, despite all the achievements, that it is bent on continuing as the future of gastronomy. The figures bear out this idea of a record congress: 14,712 accreditations, 48 nationalities, 1,468 congress-goers and 413 journalists. Over 10,000 samples were served up at the auditorium, and more than 160 companies operated exhibition stands at the Kursaal.

Gastronomika is consolidated as "the chefs' congress" at the best event in its 25-year history
San Sebastián Gastronomika-Euskadi Basque Country closed down its best congress yet in 25 years, not so much in view of the record attendance or the quality of the programme and the chefs involved, but most of all for the positive attitude over the three days. An emotional and very special event signifying a return to the foundational spirit, the spirit of the chefs' congress, where everyone wants to be and get involved.
