Identidad de Garagoa, Boyacá: sumercé, venga y conozca

Abstract

Since Garagoa is considered one of the most fertile land municipalities because of its facility to adapt the products to its changing climate and because of the importance that is given to corn in this region, we decided to focus on this region (Quintero, 2014) Based on readings we can see that Garagoa in its entirety is characterized by beautiful landscapes, culture, cuisine and history, which leads us to have a gastronomic focus for the delights of Garagoa such as corn bread and garullas among other recipes that we will see through project development (González, 2016). Starting from the idea of ​​highlighting some of the recipes, culinary customs, tradition and history we will make a tour of Garagoa doing surveys, interviews and consultations, we will go through some of the steps that the people of Garagoa often perform, such as visiting the square on Sundays, going to the main bakeries of the sector, in order to find out why the king of corn is said to Garagoa, the surrounding stores will contribute to gather a bit of history, typical and new restaurants aim to highlight a culture and tradition through their dishes; we will see its evolution that has left in the past the small houses to build buildings of three to four floors where there was a facade of old colonial buildings. (Quintero, 2014) Based on the opinion of the researcher of the real Spanish cooking academy, Almudena Villegas Becerril: "the union of the gastronomic sector with the government and the academy is important, in favor of the kitchen, I know the food of France, England, Spain and none has as much versatility, colors, smells and flavors as the Colombian one. to generate a world-class tourism industry with these recipes, in addition to selling us the added value of dancing, singing and costumes, which is wonderful ". We will generate our own opinion of the importance of typical gastronomy, techniques and why keep them current as time goes on, not only because Garagoa is a beautiful place but also because it has a great potential for tourism, culture and gastronomy.
