The gastronomic societies of Álava are actively preparing for the region's upcoming festivities, fostering a vibrant and engaging atmosphere. These organizations play a crucial role in promoting the local culinary heritage.
Among the scheduled events are cooking competitions for 'bacalao a la vizcaína' (cod in Biscayan sauce) and scrambled perretxikos (St. George's mushrooms), both iconic dishes of Basque cuisine. Additionally, a contest dedicated to Rioja Alavesa wine highlights the quality of the region's viticultural production.
To further enhance the festive spirit, 500 servings of txistorra (a type of Basque sausage) have been distributed among attendees, offering a popular tasting experience that reinforces the traditional and communal essence of these pre-festival gatherings.
