Málaga Brings Together Gastronomy Leaders to Shape the Future of the Industry

A Meeting to Share Knowledge and Promote Culinary Excellence

On 15 June, La Fábrica San Miguel hosted an event organized by the Basque Culinary Center, bringing together chefs, entrepreneurs and hospitality professionals to discuss the challenges and opportunities that will shape the future of gastronomy and the hospitality industry.

The event provided a platform for dialogue on key topics such as innovation, sustainability, talent development and the importance of preserving the culinary identity of each region. These issues are becoming increasingly important as the gastronomy sector continues to evolve while staying true to its roots.

Among the attendees were Juanjo Perles and Elena Cobos, representatives of El Pimpi, who took part in a day that highlighted the importance of fostering connections between professionals and sharing experiences that contribute to the growth of Spanish gastronomy.

The presence of institutions such as the Basque Culinary Center, an international leader in culinary education, innovation and research, underlines the importance of these gatherings in building a stronger and more future-oriented hospitality sector.

Gastronomy as a Driver of Culture, Innovation and Development

Beyond the kitchen, gastronomy has become a powerful cultural, social and economic force capable of creating opportunities, attracting talent and strengthening local identities.

At El Pimpi, we share this vision. We believe in the importance of continuous learning, exchanging knowledge and actively participating in initiatives that contribute to the development of the hospitality industry. Innovation, education and a commitment to culinary culture are essential values in our way of understanding gastronomy—always looking to the future while remaining deeply connected to our roots.

Málaga is experiencing an exciting moment for gastronomy, with growing national and international recognition and an increasing commitment to local products, talent and excellence. Events such as the one held at La Fábrica San Miguel help strengthen this ecosystem and continue positioning Málaga as one of Southern Europe’s leading gastronomic destinations.
