Cultural value is what makes a destination more attractive and it is essential that its identity is maintained.

The proposal proposed in this research project aims to rescue the gastronomic customs through the collective memory in the elderly ladies, making an in-depth study of the determining factors in the loss of traditions or eating habits that were made years ago considering two proposals for the gastronomic evaluation of the most representative dishes of the city, trying that they do not disappear with the passing of time.
