Through games and interactive audiovisual material, visitors will learn about four different sectors: products, ingredients, food and nutrition. There also will be eight practical workshop sessions lasting from 45 to 60 minutes and directed by nutritionists, specialised instructors, food technologists, and expert chefs collaborating with the foundation. Thanks to a fully equipped kitchen, visitors will learn to create meals with leftover foods and prepare quick and balanced meals.

Fundació Alícia was founded in 2003 by Ferran Adrià in collaboration with the famous cardiologist Valentí Fuster. At their laboratories in Món Sant Benet in Sant Fruitós del Bages, experts carry out applied research into gastronomy, promotion of healthy eating habits and valorisation of Catalonia's gastronomic heritage.
