Abstract

Introduction: In recent years, spaces specialized in offering food and drink to tourists have proliferated, in many cases emphasizing their authentic character and roots in local gastronomy. These spaces often share common patterns and give rise to transformations in the urban landscape, tourist consumption and heritage, both in architecture and culinary tradition. Methodology: Foodification in the center of Madrid is studied through a quantitative-spatial analysis to determine the signs of the phenomenon and identify representative areas. In addition, a qualitative analysis is carried out to characterize one of the highlighted areas. Results: Foodification is fundamentally occurring in the surroundings of the old markets previously transformed into gourmet gastronomic spaces and in the main axes that connect them with the areas with the greatest tourist influx. Discussion: The analysis shows a specialization of the study area in its gastronomic offer, constituting a representative example of the phenomenon of foodification. Conclusions: Foodification exacerbates the loss of heritage authenticity and the intensification of tourist use of the busiest areas.
