The Cabildo of Lanzarote, through the Area of Economic Promotion and the Saborea Lanzarote brand, strengthens its presence at Madrid Fusión 2025, which starts this Monday, January 27th, increasing its programming and its proposal of culinary events.
After the success of the Saborea Lanzarote Enogastronomic Festival, held last November in Teguise, the next important event will be at the international gastronomy summit, Madrid Fusión '25, where Lanzarote will be present with the island's first Michelin Star, the Kamezí restaurant, and with fifteen renowned chefs and producers.
The president of the Cabildo and head of Economic Promotion, Oswaldo Betancort, highlights that "Lanzarote is experiencing a historic moment in the field of enogastronomy. The first Michelin Star, together with the consolidation of events such as Madrid Fusión, positions us as an international culinary reference, showing the world our landscape and cultural richness through the flavors of the Island."
For Oswaldo Betancort, "our gastronomy would not be what it is without the excellence of our local products, which are the soul of Lanzarote and Graciosa cuisine. These products not only represent our identity, but also the effort of farmers, winemakers and artisans who work every day to keep our essence alive." "At Madrid Fusión," adds the president, "we show the world not only the quality of our products, but also our history, our culture and our commitment to sustainability."
