Santa Cruz de Tenerife named Spanish Gastronomy Capital 2027
Santa Cruz de Tenerife has been unanimously selected as the Spanish Gastronomy Capital for 2027. The city will succeed Jerez de la Frontera, marking the first time an insular and Atlantic Spanish city has received this distinction.
The jury praised the city's comprehensive strategy, which integrates gastronomy with local products, markets, tourism, and professional training. A central component of the winning bid is a planned calendar of 137 gastronomic activities scheduled throughout 2027, designed to appeal to both residents and the millions of tourists who visit the Canary Islands annually.
The designation serves as a promotional platform to highlight the city's identity as a cultural and culinary crossroads between Europe, Africa, and the Americas. While the title does not include a specific direct economic subsidy, the municipal government intends to use the year to boost the hospitality, commerce, and tourism sectors through a diverse program of events.
