A culinary competition to celebrate World Tuna Day (2 May) and showcase sustainable tuna and northern bonito from Bermeo: tradition, innovation and flavour in the town’s bars.
The Bermeo Tuna Pintxo Lehiaketa is an initiative promoted by Bermeo Tuna that invites you to explore Bermeo whilst sampling pintxos made with sustainable tuna and albacore, sourced from the local fleet and from canneries and businesses in the area.
It was created with a clear aim: to highlight the product, its link to Bermeo’s fishing tradition, and the work of the local hospitality industry in innovating with sustainable offerings.
A global alliance of tuna-fishing cities committed to sustainable human development
In some coastal regions, tuna is not just an industry: it is integral to local employment, identity and the future of the area. This alliance has been established to drive a sustainable transformation of this reality, connecting cities that share common challenges and opportunities.
The tuna sector is a strategic industry for the Basque Country, not only because of its historical significance and deep-rooted presence in the region, but also due to its capacity to generate employment, economic activity and industrial development throughout its entire value chain. However, prior to this project, there was no comprehensive assessment capable of rigorously measuring its economic and social contribution across the different areas in which it operates.
