On24, 25, 26 July, the Sardelada, also known as the Midsummer Festival, returns from 6.00 pm to 10.30 pm

This is one of the most eagerly awaited events of July in Grado.

 

The undisputed stars of the event are the sardines, a fish that symbolises Grado’s seafaring tradition and is a key ingredient in traditional Graisan cuisine.

 

During the Sardelada, you can sample them in a variety of dishes that showcase the history and authentic flavours of the lagoon: preserved in salt or oil, breaded and fried, ‘in savor’, or ‘a scotadeo’ – cooked in a frying pan after being rinsed with nothing but seawater.

Where: Campo Patriarch Elijah
