Paella and Sangria Festival
An evening of Spanish flavors in the Genoese Val Bisagno
About Paella and Sangria Festival
Spain on the Table in Val Bisagno
In Struppa, a hamlet in the upper Val Bisagno in Genoa, summer brings a festival that goes beyond Ligurian tradition to cross the Pyrenees: the Paella and Sangria Festival. In Piazza Giuliano Suppini, the volunteers of the G.A.U. Association prepare paella, the famous Spanish rice dish, accompanied by sangria.
A Neighborhood Party
The event is one of many organized throughout the year by the G.A.U. Association (Giovani Amici Uniti), a local volunteer group very active in the social life of Struppa. The festival combines gastronomy with community building, featuring musical entertainment and the convivial atmosphere of village festivals.
Struppa and its Community Fabric
The festivals organized by Giovani Amici Uniti are an example of how, in the hamlets of Genoa, volunteerism keeps the community alive. With paella, sangria, and music, the evening is an occasion for residents and visitors to gather in one of the city's greenest and most authentic areas.
