Set on Catalonia’s sun-drenched Mediterranean coast and host destination for the first edition of the International Food Tourism Conference (IFOODTC), Cambrils is far more than a seaside destination—it is a place where gastronomy defines the rhythm of life. Known in Catalunya as the culinary capital of the Costa Daurada, this vibrant fishing port has built its reputation on authenticity, quality, and a deep-rooted connection between sea, land, and table.
Here, over 150 restaurants celebrate a cuisine shaped by generations of fishermen, farmers, and passionate chefs. Each day begins with fresh catches arriving at the harbour, complemented by locally grown produce from one of Catalonia’s leading organic agricultural areas. The result is a rich and diverse culinary offering that reflects both tradition and creativity.
Cambrils is also uniquely positioned at the heart of one of Spain’s most exciting wine landscapes, surrounded by renowned denominations such as Priorat, Montsant, Penedès, Tarragona and Cava. This makes it not only a destination for food lovers, but a gateway to exceptional wine tourism experiences.
What truly sets Cambrils apart is its forward-thinking approach to food tourism. Through a collaborative model that brings together the tourism board, local authorities, chefs, producers, and educators, the destination has created a living gastronomic ecosystem. This is brought to life through a dynamic year-round calendar of events, immersive culinary routes, and experiential programmes designed to inspire visitors and professionals alike.
Cambrils doesn’t just offer great food—it offers a complete, sustainable food tourism experience. It is a destination where tradition meets innovation, where every meal tells a story, and where gastronomy becomes a compelling reason to visit, return, and connect.
