Social and culinary trends gain traction in Spain and Argentina
Various culinary and social trends are gaining attention across Spain and Argentina. In Huelva, Spain, a bar named La Cervecería has gone viral on TikTok due to a bartender, Javi, who serves beer and snacks by sliding them rapidly across the bar surface.
In Argentina, the alfajor market is undergoing a significant transformation. Specialized shops, known as alfajorerías, are evolving from simple kiosks into gourmet destinations. In the Caballito neighborhood of Buenos Aires, La Tienda del Alfajor offers more than 400 varieties, reflecting a broader trend of artisanal production and influencer-driven brands.
Reflecting on the cultural importance of these spaces, Spanish writer Rosa Montero highlights that bars and restaurants serve as vital hubs for social rituals and creativity, noting that their value lies in providing a space for human connection and sociability.
