Iberian regional gastronomic and food initiatives

Overview

Regional initiatives in the Iberian Peninsula are focusing on the promotion of sustainable food and culinary heritage. In the Coimbra Metropolitan Region, the European FISSH project hosted a study visit involving participants from Finland, Greece, Belgium, and Poland to discuss healthy eating and support for small and medium-sized enterprises in the food sector. The program highlighted local product valuation and regional strategies such as the Coimbra Gastronomic Region.

In the transboundary territory of the Guadiana Eurocity, which includes Ayamonte in Spain and Castro Marim and Vila Real de Santo António in Portugal, efforts are being made to promote Iberian gastronomy through the ‘Sabor Frontera’ brand. Participation in the Vimar 2026 Wine and Sea Fair aims to highlight the culinary richness and blue economy of the Huelva coast and eastern Algarve, focusing on regional products like artisanal salt, bluefin tuna, and Atlantic seafood.
