Alimentaria 2028 at Fira Barcelona Gran Via: where to stay

Alimentaria returns to Fira de Barcelona's Gran Via venue from 20 to 23 March 2028 for its landmark 50th edition. It is Spain's largest professional food, drink and gastronomy show, drawing over 3,300 exhibitors from around 70 countries and nearly 110,000 visitors, one in four of them from abroad. The exhibition is organised by sector and spans the whole value chain: meat, dairy, preserves, snacks and confectionery, fine foods, wine and spirits, coffee, bakery and pastry, organic products and ingredients. Content stages include The Alimentaria Hub, Innoval, The Horeca Hub, The Coffee Stage, The Bakery & Pastry Hub, The Olive Oil Bar, La Plaza Eco and the International Halal Congress. Running alongside Hostelco, the event extends into equipment and services for hotels, restaurants and catering, so visitors can see finished products, technology and trends under one roof. The venue sits next to Gran Via in L'Hospitalet, minutes from the airport and well served by metro, FGC and bus. Staying near Fira Gran Via means walking to the halls, making early meetings and joining evening networking events without long city commutes.
