Orígens Fair: a gastronomic event that will awaken your senses
En Petits Grans Hotels de Cataunya nos gusta disfrutar al máximo de los pequeños placeres. Por eso, eventos como la Feria Orígens nos gustan tanto. Nos permiten descubrir los productos y propuestas más deliciosas del país de la mano de sus protagonistas: los productores y cocineros.
Este año, como ya se hizo en el 2019, volverá a sorprendernos con una programación llena de actividades para mayores y pequeños. Y es que, durante los días 20 y 21 de noviembre, reunirá en el recinto ferial de Olot las novedades de más 60 productores de Cataluña y de Menorca, territorio invitado a la segunda edición de este encuentro. Sin duda, una oportunidad para conocer productos tan variados como vinos, cavas, infusiones, especias, aceites, conservas, chocolates, fermentados, embutidos, lácteos o boletus.
También, una oportunidad para probarlos en espacios como el Aula Tast. Y si te gusta cocinar tanto como comer, Aula Cuina es perfecta para ti. Allí se darán cita grandes cocineros para compartir sus conocimientos y técnicas culinarias.
Las propuestas de Orígens no se quedan ahí. La feria acogerá el IV Concurso de Cocas de Panadero de Cataluña, la Exposición de Embutidos tradicionales y singulares de la Garrotxa y una serie de actividades paralelas por toda la ciudad.
¿Te apetece descubrir la gastronomía catalana a través de la Feria Orígens? Te proponemos cuatro hoteles para que disfrutes al máximo de la experiencia.

Sus 12 habitaciones son buen ejemplo de ello: espaciosas, luminosas y sumamente cálidas.
