Gusto del Sur at Madrid Fusion
In addition to the delivery of the welcome box to the entrepreneurs, Gusto del Sur has its own program of activities for the three days that Madrid Fusion is held, from January 29 to 31. Currently, this fair is one of the most important gastronomy fairs in the world.
The Regional Ministry will promote the adhesion to the agri-food quality brand Gusto del Sur in Madrid Fusion and will also promote Andalusian gastronomy with food and beverages of differentiated quality through the various activities scheduled in the Tabanco space.
Each day there will be a Gusto del Sur gastronomic experience led by chefs José Álvarez (La Costa-Almería), Juan Pedro Ortiz (Faralá-Granada), Juan Carlos García (Vandelvira-Jaén), Juan José Mesa (Radis-Jaén), Periko Ortega (ReComiendo-Córdoba) and José Luis Fernández (El Espejo-Cádiz).

The award will recognize the work of a young professional who stands out for his or her ability to manage the service in the dining room of any type of restaurant.
