Abstract: This paper describes the relationships between tourism and the agricultural production of traditional products, the latter having achieved new levels of appreciation in recent years as a result of quality designations. In this context, agro‐food products can be considered as gastronomic tourism resources that enable tourism both to be developed and itself become a tool for promoting and commercialising quality agro‐food products. These two circumstances merge around a single aim: the local development of areas traditionally regarded as marginal within the regional context. These facts are showed in the Catalan region of Priorat (Spain) where wines support the local development.
