A journey through the flavours of Europe
A stop at the gastronomic stands of Europe is a must.
From sweets made in the USA (muffins, pancakes and cheesecakes) to Dutch minicrepes, from pandolce from the Czech Republic to the Austrian Sacher, to Spanish churros and liquorice. Among the stands, it is a spectacle just to admire the large grills and fires on which traditional dishes from Europe and beyond are cooked, such as classic German frankfurters or fine Argentinian meat.
For lovers of more ethnic tastes, a taste of Valencian and Catalan paella or gastronomic specialities from Mexico is a must. Also worth mentioning are Spanish cured meats, French cheeses and wines, craft beers, biscuits from Brittany, teas, infusions and spices from around the world.
Italy has its Sicilian arancini and typical food specialities from Tuscany, Umbria, Piedmont and Puglia.
