Andalucia is not only famous for its surroundings and amazing landscapes, we cannot forget its rich gastronomy.
Each province has its own culinary specialties, and here are some of the dishes that you must try:
In Granada, you have to try the famous tapas. Many bars in the city offer a free tapa with every drink you order, allowing you to try a wide variety of flavors.
In Almería, gastronomy is influenced by its location next to the Mediterranean Sea. Here you will find delicious fresh fish and seafood dishes. Garrucha’s red shrimp is especially famous and can be enjoyed in different preparations, such as grilled or in rice dishes. Another typical dish is cod garlic, a delicious combination of cod, garlic, pepper and olive oil.
In Jaén, gastronomy is characterized by the use of olive oil, since the province is known as the world capital of olive oil. A standout dish is the “pipirrana”, a fresh salad made with tomato, pepper, cucumber, onion, and olive oil. You can also try “andrajos”, a meat stew with homemade pasta, or the sweet version, a traditional dessert made with honey and almonds.
Along your route, be sure to stop at local restaurants and bars to try these culinary delights. Andalusian gastronomy is an essential part of the culture and will provide you with an unforgettable gastronomic experience on your motorcycle trip through the region.
