Arcos de la Frontera is one of those magical destinations in Andalusia where you can enjoy not only the beauty of its architecture and landscapes, but also its rich gastronomy. From traditional dishes to unique flavours, the culinary delights on offer in this jewel of the province of Cadiz will make every meal a real treat.
Typical dishes not to be missed
When you visit Arcos de la Frontera, there are some dishes you must try to enjoy its authentic gastronomy:
• Ajo caliente: A traditional local dish made with tomatoes, peppers, bread and garlic, served hot and accompanied by fresh vegetables.
• Berza gitana: A hearty stew with chickpeas, green beans and pork, perfect for cooler days.
• Tagarninas esparragadas: A very Andalusian recipe that combines tagarninas (a type of wild thistle) with a sofrito of garlic, pepper and spices, with a touch of vinegar.
• Sopa de tomate: Another classic recipe, made with fresh ingredients from the garden, with an intense and natural flavour.
• Pescaito frito: Although it is more common on the coast of Cadiz, in Arcos you can also enjoy a delicious fried fish, crispy and tasty.
Typical local desserts
And to round off your gastronomic experience, don’t forget to try some of the local desserts, such as the famous amarguillos, almond sweets typical of the monasteries in the area, or the light and crunchy oil cakes, the perfect accompaniment to coffee.
