Visita guiada temàtica: "Aquí hi ha molta teca"

Thematic guided tour of the evolution of food in Catalunya, from prehistory to the present day, based on the products, trades and table customs that have shaped the country's cooking.

The proposal traces how the population of Catalunya has been fed from prehistory to the present day, with the everyday menu as its common thread. It asks what our ancestors ate and when products such as the potato, the tomato or chocolate arrived at the table.

The route examines how the ways of cooking, preserving food and sharing meals have changed. It pauses at trades such as farming, merchants, cooks and taverns, as well as at markets and recipe books. It also addresses periods of abundance and scarcity, religious beliefs, technical innovations and the cultural exchanges that left their mark on gastronomy.

It is presented as a way of understanding history through an everyday and universal element: food. The visit takes place at the Museu d'Història de Catalunya, a museum devoted to history and civilisations, and is offered in Catalan.
