The strategy celebrates the region’s rich culinary heritage by championing high-quality, locally sourced products. With a strong emphasis on sustainability and zero kilometre produce, it aims to deepen the connection between local producers and consumers.
At the heart of Valencian cuisine are three key pillars: the sea, offering a bounty of fresh fish and seafood; the fertile market gardens, supplying vibrant, top-quality vegetables; and the wetlands, home to rice fields that give rise to iconic dishes like paella. The nearby Albufera also boasts its own Designation of Origin, highlighting the unique value of its rice production.
On 16th and 17th May 2025, Valencia’s Jardines de Viveros will come alive once again with the 13th edition of Deleste Festival – an event that goes beyond music, offering an immersive cultural experience in one of the city’s most iconic green spaces.
This year’s line-up is already making waves, hit band The Vaccines set to perform. Legendary Scottish indie band Teenage Fanclub and the genre-blending Death In Vegas, known for their hypnotic mix of psychedelia and electronica, also join the bill. Joining them are Anna of the North with their dreamy synth-pop, and the electrifying British post-punk group Deadletter. The first wave of artists also includes Sanchez and Faixa.
With more names still to be revealed, Deleste 2025 promises an unforgettable weekend of music, energy, and atmosphere in an unbeatable setting.
