The gastronomic tradition of Pineda del Mar is perfectly connected to the classic cuisine of the region of Maresme and the coastal area of the region of Barcelona. Along the year many gastronomic journeys take place in this municipality, each of them in honor of a traditional food or product that is popular in Pineda de Mar, such as the fish and the seafood, the tomato and the mushrooms.
The sea and the fish markets of the surroundings are the main source of products of the region. There, all kinds of fish and seafood can be bought to then be consumed grilled, roasted or as a classic stew (like the suquet de peix) or with rice and fideua.
From the interior lands the calf meat and the pork meat are the most important ingredients, from which the traditional embutidos (sausage) are made of. The snails, escalivada, sanfaina, esqueixada and other typic recipes of the Catalan cuisine are also popular when eating in Pineda de Mar. As a dessert, try some of the local specialties such as the sweet cocas and the crema catalana. And to complete this experience in Pineda de Mar, why not have a glass of wine D.O. Alella.
