«Croqueta Crush» Festival

The proposal turns the universe of the croquette into a participatory experience where the public tastes, compares and votes. Seven restaurants present fourteen different varieties, from the most traditional recipes to unexpected combinations designed to surprise the palate. Here, the final decision is not made by a professional jury: Barcelona’s best croquette is chosen bite by bite.

But Croqueta Crush goes far beyond the dish. Gastronomic workshops, tastings, pairings, live music, DJ sessions and activities for all ages complete a programme that invites you to stay much longer than planned. There is also room for games, children’s activities and proposals as peculiar as the Croque-Citas, where the concept of «making a match» takes on a very different meaning.

Everything takes place in a setting that adds another attraction: the open spaces and heritage of Poble Espanyol. The result is a festival that mixes gastronomy, festive atmosphere and a desire to share. Because sometimes great discoveries do not come in the form of a person: they come crispy on the outside and creamy on the inside.
