A Sea of Flavours | Gastronomy
Description
Roquetas de Mar maintains a strong link with the Mediterranean, not only in commercial products that we extract from it (either salt or fish), but it is a link to cultural: the streets, the boats of the port, the terraces where you can enjoy a pescaito frito... here the life "smells of the sea". And to enjoy it, one of the best ways is the cuisine: our great seafood (prawns, king prawns, shrimp...) and our fish (gallo, golden redfish, mullet..) are converted into delicious recipes, whether fried, grilled, escabechados or forming part of the "rice" part, one of our typical dishes, only in the zone of Almería.
But not only is the sea generous, this land is known as the Garden of Europe, for the production of quality vegetables and fruits.
