BARCELONA, Spain (March 3, 2020) – For the third consecutive year, Barcelona’s Passeig de Gracia, one of the most iconic streets in the city, will deliver its unique gastronomic festival.

At SOLC, the property’s farm-to-table concept restaurant, Passeig de Gourmets enthusiasts can enjoy a tasting menu prepared by the restaurant’s Executive Chef, Luis Llamas.

This tasting menu will be priced at 50 euros (approximately $55 USD).
