The Route of La Fabada and Las Verdinas, with seven editions behind it, three of them worldwide, reaches its eighth year of celebration with record figures, having registered more than 100 restaurants from all over the world. It is celebrated from March 11 to 27 all over the world.
It is a tribute to the Asturian bean stew and verdinas as dishes that are part of our culinary history and also of our future. A recognition of two of the most emblematic dishes in Spanish gastronomic history, and during the days of its celebration, Asturians, wherever they are, share them with the rest of the world to celebrate, beyond recipes and ingredients, the international dimension of the fabas and verdinas of Asturias.
This year the dates of celebration, usually in February, have had to be delayed to March due to the pandemic. For this reason, and with the aim of promoting activity in the restaurant sector, the Ruta de La Fabada y Las Verdinas will take place from March 11 to 27, celebrating #Fabadaday, World Fabada Day, on March 20 at the Llagar de Viella, Cider House Restaurant, in the council of Siero, Asturias.
This 8th edition organized by the events and communication company Nacho Sandoval Strategies and Marketing is sponsored by Camín Astur and Pagos del Rey, with the collaboration of the Oviedo City Council, the Association of Hospitality and Tourism of Asturias, OTEA and Moscovitas de Rialto.
All the participants are geolocated on Google Maps, forming a digital gastromap with their data and gastronomic proposals that can be consulted through the web and through the official social networks of the Fabada Route; Facebook, Twitter and Instagram. The restaurants offer different menus whose main dish will be the Asturian fabada, fabes with stumbles or verdinas.
