Fusion Cuisine in Madrid
Now celebrating its 14th anniversary, Madrid Fusión focused on new creative culinary paths, a return to our origins, American avant-garde and a homage to the “sweet-toothed revolution” in Spain. In all, more than 400 companies and institutions and nearly 300 restaurants took part in the gastro-festival, whose 2016 theme was “Cómete Madrid” (“roughly translated as “Eat Up Madrid”).
The annual event has become a global showpiece of sensory experiences with food, wine and other alcoholic beverages, gastronomic culture (cuisine in photography, literature, music, art, theatre and film), gourmet delicatessens, local markets and cookery schools.
