This weekend, the 6th edition of the Coffee Festival FECA place in the city of Buenos Aires, sponsored by the city government. The community attended the event free of charge to taste different types of coffee from over 36 stands representing various coffee shops in the city, with prices starting from 250 Argentine pesos. In addition to coffee, attendees had the opportunity to sample a variety of food options including hamburgers, baked goods, tacos, pizzas, and more. The festival took place on July 15th and 16th from 10 am to 8 pm at Intendente Seeber Square in Palermo, located between Del Libertador and Sarmiento Avenues.
This festival is held with the aim of promoting the gastronomic development of the city and fostering the growth of this sector, which has stood out over time. It also serves as a gathering space for families and friends to enjoy a different day, among other things
This year, the attendees of this event have the opportunity to vote for the best coffee. They can approach the participating stands, scan a QR code, and vote for their favorite coffee. The winner will be awarded at the end of the event. It is worth mentioning that due to the large number of people and the long queues to buy coffee from the 36 participating stands, it is not possible to taste them all. In my case, I was able to buy from two stands, and I found them to be delicious. One of them was a flavored vanilla latte from Macchiatto [https://macchiato.com.ar/], and the other was a flat white from Motofeca [https://lamotofeca.mitiendanube.com/].
There were also talks, tastings, workshops, musical shows, and as an interesting fact, there was a booth for coffee reading by a renowned astrologer from the city, Jimena La Torre.
As always, it is a pleasure for me to share this experience, and I hope that through these images, you have enjoyed it as much as I did. Thank you for reading!
