This page covers what's useful to know if you live in Lugano (city centre, Paradiso, Sorengo, Massagno) and are looking for authentic Spanish products delivered to your door.
The Spanish-speaking community in Lugano
Ticino hosts a stable Spanish-speaking community: families settled for several decades, students of the Università della Svizzera italiana, professionals in tourism and hospitality. The Iberian presence is mainly concentrated in Lugano and Paradiso.
The Saturday market at Piazza Riforma brings together regional producers and lovers of authentic products. A few Iberian addresses liven up Via Nassa and the Paradiso district.
What we offer
Picual olive oil, Serrano ham, piquillo preserves, smoked pimentón and other Iberian products that are hard to find in large Ticino supermarkets — the selection for cooking or entertaining.
