This isn’t your typical food event.
It’s part gastronomy… part science… and a proper look at how we treat the sea.
What’s Happening
From May 3 to 6, Garachico hosts the VIII Encuentro de los Mares for the first time in the north of Tenerife.
This year’s theme:
“Capital Natural Azul”
Which basically comes down to one idea… the sea isn’t just there to be used.
Who’s Involved
You’ve got a mix of:
- Chefs
- Scientists
- Fishermen
- Producers
- Institutions
All looking at the same thing from different angles.
What They’ll Be Talking About
- The future of fishing
- Marine sustainability
- New seafood gastronomy
- How we consume fish
It’s not just about cooking… it’s about where it all comes from and where it’s going.
The Public Event
If you’re not into conferences… there’s still something worth going to.
📅 May 3
📍 Plaza de la Libertad, Garachico
🎟️ Free access
A gastronomic day with seafood dishes at popular prices.
Simple… eat well and see what it’s about.
Why It Matters
For an island like Tenerife… this kind of conversation isn’t optional.
It’s tied to culture, economy… and how things will look in a few years.
Worth Knowing
You can go just for the food…
…but there’s a bigger story behind it if you pay attention.
