A few days ago we told you that the Bravas Fest is about to return to fill Barcelona with patatas brava during the weekend of October 4 to 6 in Poble Espanyol, where it is already a tradition once a year to find the best bravas of the city together in a single space.
Not only that, this year the festival grows and extends to be held also in Valencia (from October 18 to 20 in the Jardín de Viveros) and in Madrid, from October 25 to 27 at the Railway Museum of Madrid.
There they will have time to communicate their news but here we already know the most important: which are the restaurants participating in the Bravas Fest and how are the bravas they will bring. We leave you the list of the participating restaurants and the description of the bravas they will present at the festival.
