Sierra de Cádiz · must-try
Berenjenas con miel
Crispy fried eggplant with cane honey. The local classic around Ronda and Setenil — sweet, salty and the dish we tell every guest to order.
Gastronomy
Typical Andalusian food
Order these at the cave bars on Cuevas del Sol — olive oil, tomato, fried fish and mountain cheese. This is the table of Cádiz and the white villages.
Summer · cold soup
Gazpacho
Chilled tomato, pepper, cucumber, garlic and olive oil. The Andalusian reset on a 38 °C afternoon — every bar will have a jug.
Cádiz · fried fish
Pescaíto frito
A mix of small fish in a light crunchy batter, lemon on the side. The taste of the Cádiz coast — perfect with a cold beer or a fino.
Tapas · acorn-fed
Jamón ibérico
Thin slices of acorn-fed Iberian ham. Start any meal with a plate and bread — this is Andalusia on a wooden board.
Sierra de Cádiz · cheese
Queso Payoyo
Goat (and sometimes sheep) cheese from these mountains. Ask for it in Setenil — often with honey or membrillo. A true local souvenir too.
Córdoba · thicker cousin
Salmorejo
Gazpacho’s creamier Córdoba cousin, topped with egg and jamón. Order it if you want something colder and more filling than a salad.
