“There is no greater love than that given through the food we prepare, and Guanajuato ¡Si Sabe! tastes like tradition, like culture, like each of the 46 municipalities. Guanajuato Si Sabe! and here we will continue supporting the traditional cuisine of our State”, said Governor Libia Dennise Garcia Munoz Ledo.

Libia led the inauguration of the Guanajuato Si Sabe! 2025 Gastronomic Season, a celebration that honors and showcases the State’s culinary treasures and establishes it as a national and international benchmark in gastronomy.

The Governor said that food is an act of love and is present in life’s most important moments, with the secret ingredient of love. It’s a gift that accompanies people from generation to generation, from grandmother to mother, and that’s why these are traditions that shouldn’t be lost.

“Food and flavor give us identity, and today we see the food and traditions of every corner of Guanajuato represented: from the northwest, the south, the center; all the municipalities are represented here today by their wonderful gastronomy. In Guanajuato, food is identity; our gastronomy defines who we are,” said the Governor.

Libia said that the State Government will continue to support traditional cuisine, as it is part of Guanajuato’s intangible cultural heritage.
