Experimental tradition in Gata de Gorgos

The basis of our cuisine is our passion for updating traditional cuisine, adapting ancestral techniques to the possibilities of our times and surprising our customers with reminiscences of the past.

For this reason, discovering new readings of traditions in any field is one of our greatest passions. And very close to us, year after year, an event takes place whose base is to turn something very traditional into experimental art.

In the nearby town of Gata de Gorgos emerged Art Al VentThe exhibition is a re-reading in the form of contemporary textile art of a tradition that was deeply rooted in the Marina Alta region until a few decades ago, and which is still preserved in this town today.

 

The popular tradition of placing quilts on the balconies when a procession passes by has been adapted to artistic experimentation and has become an open-air exhibition of contemporary textile art in which artists from all over the world participate. In this year's edition, from 14 August to 8 September, 81 canvases by artists from 20 different countries will be exhibited on the balconies. To insist on the re-reading of a tradition, the route of the exhibition goes from the church square to the square where the craft shops are located and which have earned the town its reputation as a centre of commerce.

We recommend you to take the guided tour to enjoy even more your walk through this peculiar exhibition, and of course to complete your day in our restaurant to continue enjoying renewed traditions and tasting our culinary experiences.

Beyond lunch

One of Samaruc's weaknesses is salted fish and traditional cuisine, something that could not be missing in the traditional lunch of the area in a creative way.
