Gastronomy

It is based on natural products of the area, such as lamb, pork or market garden products.  Basically, it is a simple and high quality cuisine that keeps the tradition of our grandmothers´ kitchens alive. Among the most representative dishes we find Lamb or kid stew, la Cazuela (casserole), the Zorongollo (salad with peppers, onion and garlic) , Perico style tomatoes ( seasoned with spices ) or ” Escabechadas Potatoes“ ( cold pickling brined potato stew). To accompany these treats nothing better than good “pitarra wine “ elaborated with traditional methods and most times in private wineries.

All kinds of Iberian cured meats can be tasted. And, finally, the typical pastries such as roscas fritas (ring-shaped buns), huesillos (fried finger-shaped pastries), perrunillas (round biscuits), bollos dulces (buns), mantecados(shortbread), ...
