    Hello:
    What's the point of so much culinary celebration, if then smoking is allowed over the food and the people who are tasting and paying a fortune for a job that is not such, because then the smokers will destroy you, the ingredients, the work, the tasting and all the costs and the enthusiasm that goes into it?

    First, smoking is prohibited in public establishments outside... then celebrate it and make the staff fully enjoy such an event...

    Cleanliness and health are fundamental in gastronomy, the rest is poop... dogs, tobacco, etc.

    What's the point of having the best chefs from Spain, EUROPE or the world come?
    Let's face it... anything that is surrounded by tobacco cannot be exquisite, well, not even mediocre.

    Fines for restaurants, bars, venues and anyone who smokes personally.

    And if not, don't go or go and don't consume anything
    If you are carrying everything from home, you can avoid everything they offer.

    FIN

    This is how we have to behave against our will, until they have some sense and things are done properly.

    You say: it smells good and then everything is mixed with tobacco, dog urine, etc.

    All the best

    Last year the Socialist Party of Denia, and the Commitment Party of Denia, wasted around 1 million euros on this. A true gastronomic paradise for the elites.

    We live in the second poorest region of the entire Valencian community.

    Neither rural people nor ordinary people are up for this nonsense. If anything trying to make ends meet

      Exactly, besides, the subsidies go to "the gastronomics" and the people of the countryside don't even see them, they are abandoned by the institutions... But look at the posturing people in the audience...they don't give a damn.
