Berga 2018

Berga, the capital of the Berguedà region, hosts GastroPirineus in June 2018. Two days of live cooking from the heart of a comarca where forest, livestock and mountain produce shape what ends up on the stove.

Anna Lombardero and Remei Escolies open the inaugural session from Els Roures in Castellar del Riu. Territory in its purest form. Oriol Rovira, from Els Casals in Sagàs, champions cazuela cooking as living heritage. Marcel Cardona revives native Berguedà ingredients that time had all but forgotten.

The young chefs of the comarca — Xavier Ribolleda, Pere Venturós and Xevi Poll — prove the next generation is already here. Craft beer reaches the stoves of Estany Clar in Cercs. And the mountain wines of DO Costers del Segre close a cycle where produce, cooking and territory speak the same language.
