Culinary tourism is a type of tourism whose practice occurs throughout the whole year, and in any geographical context. Tourist routes, both natural and cultural, represent a product that also contributes to reduce the seasonality of tourism, with wider potential for regional development.This article describes the case of food tourism in Catalonia regarding the offer of local products through tourist routes. Consequently, four cases of tourist and gastronomic routes around two particular products (wine, cheese) are studied.

From a theoretical perspective, it usefully serves to the recovery and valorization of agricultural landscapes and cultural heritage, particularly the culinary.Downloads
