The four-minute video takes a journey through the culture and tradition of Girona food and wine and its close link to the region’s stunning scenery, heritage and local traditions, as well as its evolution through the work of culinary geniuses like Ferran Adrià and the Roca brothers.

The region’s new “Food and Wine Experiences” promotional video, which presents the destination through testimonials and a look at Girona’s cuisine, will be posted in three languages on the Costa Brava Girona Pyrenees and Visit Costa Brava Facebook pages and Youtube channel.

The four-minute-twenty-second long promotional video, set to music, was commissioned by the Girona Provincial Council’s Costa Brava Girona Tourist Board and features a tour of the region’s culinary history, starting with farming and livestock and showcasing dishes made with locally sourced products.

The video offers high-resolution images, shot from both the ground and the air, of the region’s singular landscapes, including Cap de Creus, Cadaqués, Palamós, L’Escala, Girona, and the Girona Pyrenees. The video also features an enticing look at the region’s iconic restaurants, markets and food and wine activities and their relationship with Catalan cuisine and local products, including L’Escala anchovies, Palamós prawns, and DO Empordà wines and cheeses.

Known as the “region where Ferran Adrià and the Roca brothers are reinventing world cuisine”, the video highlights the geniuses at the forefront of Girona avant-garde cuisine: Fina Puigdevall from Les Cols restaurant, Paco Pérez from Miramar, Francesc Rovira, chef at Fonda Xesc and the team from the Compartir in Cadaqués.

While the video was created primarily with the general public in mind, it can also be used as a new promotional tool for travel agency, tour operator and media professionals.
