The Baja California Gastronomy Cluster announced the event “From Peninsula to Peninsula,” with the goal of promoting gastronomy and an alliance between Tijuana and Yucatán.
The program includes press conferences, conferences, food showcases, and dinners paired with wines and craft beers from the region, said Hugo León Valle, president of the Gastronomy Cluster.
“There will be workshops, seafood presentations, and academic activities for gastronomy and tourism students, with the goal of strengthening the connection between both peninsulas,” he added.
Chef Martín Muñoz Avilés mentioned that these activities arise from a collaboration agreement with the Yucatán Gastronomy Federation, signed within the framework of the “Tourism Market.”
