“…The field of agritourism is broad enough to include a wide variety of tourism activities so that its boundaries prove fuzzy and open to debate [20,23,24,30,31,[37][38][39][40]. Indeed, any definition of agritourism raises a number of questions over the bounds of its true nature.…”

Faced with the current challenges of the climate emergency and global change, the revaluation of local products, their knowledge, consumption, and distribution is emerging as one of the strategic actions aimed at reducing the carbon footprint. Agritourism, as an activity that values everything that is related to the agricultural heritage and that enables direct contact between visitor and farmer, contributes to positioning and strengthening the local agrifood product in tourist destination areas and becomes another link in the production chains, promoting direct sales and the short distribution circuit of the products. This research aims to measure the presence of the local agrifood product in the context of agritourism developed in the Western Catalan Pyrenees (Spain). To do this, it analyses the presence of the local product and the ways used to incorporate it into the travel experience. It explores (through interviews) the opinions of the owners of agritourism farms/businesses in relation to the repercussions of the producer–consumer connection through food. To reach this goal, secondary sources are reviewed—bibliographical, statistics, and web pages—and a total of 26 interviews are carried out. In terms of the results, we highlight that in the Western Catalan Pyrenees, about 70% of agritourism accommodations include local products in their offer. Additionally, the professional project is strengthened by including the agrifood product in the offer’s structure through catering and/or direct sale, generating positive dynamics among the rest of the producers in the area. However, only a small percentage of agritourism accommodations fully diversify their project with the production, consumption, and distribution of their own and local food. A total of four different profiles of agritourism are identified regarding agrifood products.

La presente contribución pretende explorar la situación del agroturismo en España desde el punto de vista de la oferta. Tras un primer apartado teórico-conceptual sobre el agroturismo se analiza la presencia y tratamiento de dicha actividad en el marco jurídico-administrativo español y a continuación se aborda su distribución territorial. Pese a la existencia de un marco turístico favorable al agroturismo, acorde con las tendencias de la demanda turística actual y el elevado potencial turístico del territorio, el nivel de desarrollo e implantación del agroturismo en España es menor al de otros países europeos. La identificación del agroturismo y su individualización frente a otros tipos de turismo no está bien resuelta en España. This paper seeks to explore the current state of agritourism in Spain by taking a supply-side perspective. Following on from a theoretical-conceptual analysis of agritourism, the presence of this activity within the Spanish legal-administrative framework and the provisions made for it therein are examined, and its territorial distribution within Spain is described. Despite the existence of a tourism framework that is apparently favourable to agritourism, given current trends in tourism demand and Spain’s great potential for tourism, the level of development and implementation of agritourism in Spain is not as advanced as that in other European countries. The recognition of agritourism and, consequently, the development of an identity that is distinct from that of other types of tourism have not, as yet, been adequately addressed in Spain.
