traditional gastronomy, territorial dynamics, tourist developmentAbstract
In Mexico, street food establishments are considered gastronomic and cultural epicenters that play a fundamental role in the construction of territorial identity due to the use of local ingredients, the elaboration of traditional dishes, and allow people to connect emotionally, culturally and belonging to their community. Under this reference, this research focuses on identifying and analyzing these dynamics in the “Calle del Hambre”, one of the most representative street food centers of Zitacuaro in the State of Michoacan, Mexico; combining territorial, demographic and sociocultural analysis. The main results allow us to identify a consumer profile of traditional street food and a territorial dynamic where the gastronomic space serves as an economic center that strengthens the process of tourist-gastronomic attraction.
