If pizza is a field of delicacy and purism, the hamburger is the terrain of experimentation and creativity. This is what makes competitions like the 4th Spanish Burger Championship so exciting and fun, as they point out the best burgers in the country.
Mad Mad Vegan arrives in Barcelona with its famous vegan burgers
This year, the championship has pitted creations from all over the country against each other and has set its sights on Barcelona, awarding it the silver medal with the second best hamburger in Spain. But this was not the only award for the region, as several of these snacks from Barcelona and Catalonia were also recognized.
Festín’s burger is a burger that heals the soul.
