Paella and Sangria Festival in Calcinate
Spain arrives in Calcinate, with authentic paella and sangria
About Paella and Sangria Festival
A taste of Spain in the Bergamasca region
The Paella and Sangria Festival arrives for the first time in Calcinate, a municipality in the province of Bergamo, bringing the flavors of authentic Spanish cuisine to the town's Festival Area. The absolute stars are paella and sangria, in an event that combines taste, conviviality, and Mediterranean atmosphere.
Iberian cuisine takes center stage
The chefs cooking are direct from Barcelona: Valencian paella is prepared by El Rincon de España, while the certified gluten-free version is made in a separate kitchen, ensuring safety for celiacs. Alongside paella, grilled Iberian meat and the unmissable sangria complete a menu that showcases Spanish dining in its most genuine form.
Indoors, whatever the weather
The event takes place under a covered and heated structure, regularly open even in case of rain or cool evenings: a guarantee to enjoy the festival worry-free. Sunday lunch is dedicated to families, with entertainment for children.
Free entry
Entry is free: you only pay for what you consume. A simple and direct format, which has made this traveling festival an increasingly popular event in the squares and festival areas of Lombardy, and which debuts in Calcinate in 2026.
