The Pallars Hotel Management School, based at INS Hug Roger III in Sort, hosted the second meeting of the Sea and Mountain project, which took place on April 21st and 22nd. This initiative welcomed a group of twenty students and three teachers from the Figueres Hotel Management School, with the aim of delving into the fusion of coastal and mountain culinary traditions in Catalonia.

Over the two days, participants enjoyed an intensive program of cultural and gastronomic immersion. The first day included a visit to the Gerri de la Sal Museum to learn about local history, followed by a training session on local products led by a renowned chef. The day culminated with a visit to Celler Batlliu, a fellowship dinner, and an astronomy activity at Sort Castle.

The second day focused on community and knowledge of the agri-food sector, with activities such as kayaking in Sort and an educational visit to the artisan cheese factory Tros de Sort. The experience concluded with an official diploma ceremony, thus consolidating an initiative that has allowed students to enhance their skills and discover the rich heritage and producers of Pallars.

The success of this second meeting has strengthened the collaboration between both educational centers, with the intention of establishing future long-term alliances. The organizers hope to repeat the experience next year, to continue fostering the exchange of knowledge and the promotion of gastronomic tourism in Catalonia.
