The story

National Asado con Cuero Festival in Viale

A four-day food festival held on the grounds of a small-town football club in Entre Ríos, built around a competitive hide-roasting beef contest, the Concurso Nacional del Asado con Cuero. It began in 2002 as a fundraiser to pay off the club's legal debts, gained national-festival status in 2013, and now draws more than 25,000 visitors across its run.

Viale's food festival began as a fundraiser with nothing originally to do with tourism: in 2002, the town's football club was facing a costly lawsuit, and its leadership organized a hide-roasted beef event to raise money for the legal bill, recovering the cost within the first year.

What is special

The part that makes it specific.

01

The place changes

The festival's centerpiece, the Concurso Nacional del Asado con Cuero, judges a specific and less common gaucho cooking method — beef roasted still in its hide over open coals — rather than the standard open-grate asado more commonly seen elsewhere in Argentina

02

The mystery stays covered

Its origin as a football club's fundraiser to pay off a lawsuit, and its continued location on that same club's grounds two decades later, gives it a specific institutional history unusual among Argentina's national food festivals
