Barcelona is gearing up for the Grand Départ 2026 and the city’s municipal markets are joining in with a unique culinary contribution: the Truita del Tour, an omelette recipe created by the chefOt Salvans (Manda Huevos) and inspired by the traditional ‘Bomba de la Barceloneta’.

Launched by the Barcelona Municipal Institute of Markets (IMMB) and the Barcelona Federation of Municipal Markets (FEMM), the initiative offers people a chance to try the omelette between 8 June and 5 July in bars and restaurants and at stalls selling ready-made food at the forty municipal markets, which will also be able to offer their own versions.

The action includes special ambience at the markets with the official image of the Tour de France, an Instant Win competition with direct prizes using QR codes and activities in the neighbourhoods.

Notable projects include a special edition of the Tasta’M cycle, to be held at the Mercat del Besòs on 27 June as part of the Festa del Tour.

With this initiative, Barcelona’s markets become one of the great points where members of the public can celebrate the Grand Départ Barcelona 2026, promoting the values of sport, healthy living and local gastronomy.
