Your starter is crunchy fried fish.
Cooked in olive oil and the finest quality of wheat flour, "pescaíto frito" is a unique, traditional and deliciously crunchy dish. It might seem easy, but preparing fried fish is an art in itself. An unrivalled skill.
You'll find out why it's so popular at the Freidor Casa Manteca, Cádiz, as well as in San Fernando and El Puerto de Santa María. You'll discover the famous "freidores”, a tradition dating back to the 19th century. And you'll taste the finest anchovies, wedge soles and cuttlefish in the region.
Next comes a refreshing glass of delicious gazpacho.
Made with the freshest vegetables in the region, the gazpacho at El Quinto Toro, in Almería, is a perfect combination of tomato, cucumber, green pepper, onion, garlic, water, bread, olive oil and vinegar.
No wonder it's an obsession for many people. In 2019 Almería made the world's biggest gazpacho, more than 9,800 litres of pure flavour. Fresh aroma. And distinctive colour.
After that, you'll discover the secret of the "flamenquín".
They say it all boils down to what's inside it. And if it's filled with melted cheese and succulent ham, even better.
Get ready to enjoy "flamenquín" at La Cigala del Sur: a genuine star dish in Córdoba. Delicious stuffed loin rolled in breadcrumbs and fried. The tastiest secret.
For dessert, you'll be transported straight to heaven with "Dulce del Paraíso".
Dare to try a mixture of sponge cake, almonds and sweet syrup. To be surprised with hints of lemon and cinnamon. And to savour a dish steeped in history. Popular in the Alpujarra region. Passed down from generation to generation. Waiting to reach you. To captivate you with a flavour that should be prohibited.
