A new Bottega Prosecco Bar has opened in the departures area of Madrid-Barajas airport. The airport in the Spanish capital is one of the largest European hubs, especially for connections with Latin America, and the ribbon-cutting ceremony for the facility took place on March 20, in collaboration with Airfoods, a commercial partner that has developed specific expertise in airports on the Iberian peninsula.
Bottega Prosecco Bars reach 36 worldwide: the opening at Madrid-Barajas airport
Madrid-Barajas airport is a jewel of modern architecture and a very important hub for Spain and the whole of Europe. The airport covers an area of 30.5 square kilometers and serves over 60 million passengers a year. It is not only the busiest airport in Spain, but also one of the largest in the world: with 4 terminals and 4 runways, it has the capacity to welcome up to 70 million passengers a year.
“Madrid is one of the busiest airports in Europe and, at the same time, the main hub for connections with Latin America”, underlines Sandro Bottega, president of Bottega S.p.A. “We are therefore extremely pleased with the recent opening of a Bottega Prosecco Bar inside the port. The collaboration with Airfoods, which we thank for its commitment, aims to fully appreciate the Italian and Mediterranean gastronomic culture paired with our wines”.
Launched in 2014 on board the Viking group’s Cinderella ship, which operates on the Baltic Sea, with the opening in Madrid the Bottega Prosecco Bar format has opened 36 times in about 11 years.
The concept on which it is based is the philosophy of the Venetian bacaro, or an informal tavern, where the food is presented both as “cicheti”, or appetizers to be consumed at the counter, and as more structured dishes to be served at the tables. The pairing with Prosecco, favored for its versatility, and with other Italian wines closes the circle and helps make every moment spent a pleasant experience.
