It is also highlighted by 26 festivals in the territory.

From a gastronomic point of view, gradually, after the 1990s, and especially after the 2000s, gastronomy has experienced a significant development. And it has done that by starting timidly to recognize itself as a service within the tourist packages, and us afterwards being able to speak of real gastronomic touristic destinations.
The Transylvanian area was culturally subjected to a series of influences, coming from the people under whose rule it has been throughout history. Thus, the gastronomic culture was influenced by this phenomenon and that is the reason why it is extremely diverse, taking over the influences of the Austro-Hungarian and Slavic cuisine, and to a lesser extent French, Italian and even Greek.
