Abstract
This contribution presents a Spanish-English translation study of a corpus composed of the official tourism web sites of the 15 Spanish cities declared as UNESCO World Heritage Cities to date. Here, attention will be paid to the translation of cultural references, and more specifically, lexicon related to food and beverages. The translation techniques observed are analysed following existing classifications that are adapted to cultural references. The results obtained allow drawing conclusions regarding (foreignizing or domesticating) translation tendencies in this context and highlight the urgent need to acknowledge the value and resort to professional translation in the field of tourism.
