Last Saturday, September 20, Barcelona’s rentrée reached its peak with ALL THOSE x FANGO, a unique event that became a true feast for the senses and the perfect occasion to reconnect after the summer.
The gastronomic festival ALL THOSE, which has spent more than ten years establishing itself as a culinary reference in the city, joined forces for the first time with FANGO, the music festival that celebrates diversity, to transform Plaza Monumental into a large meeting space where flavors, aromas, and rhythm coexisted naturally. Two worlds came together throughout the day—from 12 p.m. to 11 p.m.—to celebrate outdoor hedonism with a program designed for all audiences.
The gastronomic offerings were one of the event’s main attractions, bringing together some of Barcelona’s most emblematic restaurants in a display of creativity and flavor that was enjoyed outdoors, with the street food spirit so characteristic of ALL THOSE.
The delicious focaccias from Focacceria Balmesina, the juicy burgers from Two Patties, the exotic cuisine of Lamun Cuina Thai, the authentic Italian paninis from Bodega Santo Porcello, the grilled meats with the unmistakable touch of Fat Barbies, the Asian bites from Lady Dumpling, and the flavorful Mexican cuisine from Piñata Cantina were all present. In addition, these dishes could be paired with the natural wines from Finca Parera.
Among the sweet offerings, the famous cheesecakes from Jon Cake, the innovative ice creams from delaCrem, and the plant-based and gluten-free pastries from Gaia’s Garden stood out, all accompanied by the finest specialty coffee from Nomad Coffee. A selection that reflected the city’s culinary richness and made every bite an essential part of the experience.
Music also played a leading role in this edition. Plaza Monumental vibrated with the energy of Gee Lane, the soulful groove of Repe, Zonzo’s disco alchemy, the Caribbean and hip-hop sounds of Cecé & The Soul Kitchen, the Latin vinyls of Asia Knox, and the experimental rap of Mabreezee. A selection of artists who, through different styles and formats, served as the common thread of a festival where rhythm and flavor went hand in hand.
The event also offered experiences that fostered connection between people beyond the screens, such as the human bingo “Gente de Bien” hosted by Andrea EatGirl, the fun activity “El Hotspot” led by Agustina Orsi, and the natural wine tasting conducted by Finca Parera and La Natural.
In parallel, the public could also enjoy a tasting of plant-based cheeses from Violife, further expanding the festival’s gastronomic journey.
With this event, ALL THOSE x FANGO established itself as one of the most outstanding gastronomic and cultural experiences of the autumn, celebrating the city’s creativity and the pleasure of enjoying fine dining to the rhythm of a carefully curated musical selection.
