Take me with you

I can see in your eyes that you like the verb: enjoy. You have chosen well. In Cadiz, enjoy is conjugated, in the present, in the future and in the past of good memories.

Enjoy We invite you to explore the province to experience the small details which make vacations great: that breakfast on the beach, the waves splashing with the music of depths, the cheese from the Sierra of Cadiz which smells like the mountains, the cool wine in

Explore the province

mid-morning in a dimly lit tavern, prawns from Sanlúcar peeled with laughter, “palmera de chocolate” (a crunchy chocolate elephant ear puff pastry) served as an afternoon snack, the half-hour siestas, a stroll on the slope of Vejer and tuna dish from Barbate with the breeze of the chiringuito (refreshment stand), etc. What more do you want. We propose a route through Cadiz

which tells stories, at local restaurants and shops, that offer products in their natural state, with untamed, authentic flavours.

Authentic Flavours We will tell you about the places where the dishes are like fireworks and the flavours explode inside your palate. Cadiz is full of colours and contrasts. It is simultaneously the mountains, the sea and the country and its cuisine is the sum of many elements “mixed” into a sauce. The house menu has breakfast dishes with baked bread, crunchy rolls, hot fritters. We offer tuna, prawns, rock fish, from the marsh, sea nettles, fine slices of mojama (cured tuna) from

Mountain, sea, country

Barbate, wedge clams, Spanish oyster thistle (sea asparagus), scallops, which are similar to oysters, but have a more “affordable” price tag.

We have cheese with their own brand names from the Payoya goat to the Grazalemeña sheep. Dry sherry, “oloroso” wine, “palo cortao” aged sherry and manzanilla wine to accompany these dishes.

mille-feuille, alfajores (almond, nut and honey pastry) from Medina, bizcotelas (biscuits) with meringue that will stick to your nose.

Unique Products

There are tomatoes from Rota, artichokes from Conil, potatoes from La Colonia seasoned with vinegar from Jerez, fresh spring onions. Featured dishes with guaranteed success: shrimp fritters, Rota-style sea bream, local garlic, “encebollao” (tuna with onions and sherry), Voraz (Sea bream) in olive oil, sautéed local squid in season, fine raw clams, etc.

We can serve you “Retinto” beef, veal from La Janda, cured Iberian ham, lamb and baby goat from the Sierra of Cadiz and I know you will want to finish with something sweet.

Sweet, snacks Dare to sample the “durse” as we call the pastries here: tocinos de cielo (egg and syrup mousse) which melt in your mouth, cream

“Generoso” Liquor wines Muscatel from Chiclana, Tintilla (red wine) from Rota, brandy from Jerez to lend a sweet taste to the meal. We propose places to “tapear” (enjoy tapas), another fashionable verb here, places to have a splendid meal, restaurants with their own products, with innovative cuisine, great classic spots, cosy places to eat for two, with views, for the family, etc. As your guide, please don’t leave me at home.

Cherish Cadiz…

Cherish it in your heart

LITTLE BY LITTLE The Spanish “tapa” (snack) was not invented in Cadiz, but we reinvent it every day. At the counter of the bar, the people ask the waiter for “a little of this” or “a little of that”. Here, you will never bother anyone if you order a tapa. Going out for “Tapas” in Cadiz is the best excuse to stroll around the city, two pleasures for the same price... Cadiz is on sale all year round.

Photo and Chicharrón

Tortillita (Shrimp Fritter) and Morena (Moray)

Two tapas which you cannot miss in Cadiz are the shrimp fritters and the marinated fried moray. The first snack is a fritter, almost transparent, made with this small shellfish. The master formula is served at the bar of the restaurant El Faro (calle San Felix), in the barrio of La Viña. The moray eel, is a type of water snake. It is very ugly, but fried, it is delicious. In Tavern: El Adobo (calle Rosario) has them in a crunchy and exquisite version.

Caballa con piriñaca (Mackerel with diced vegetables)

Another one of the famous dishes of Cadiz’s gastronomy. The “piriñaca” is a vegetable dish with finely chopped tomatoes, onions and peppers. It is served with the mackerel, which is grilled on charcoals or on the grill and it is served whole. It is only available in summer and the most famous place to try it is at the Taberna del Pájaro Pinto, in Plaza Pinto. While you wait for the fish, you can enjoy seasoned potatoes. The tables are in a small charming square.

With views of the cathedral The Bar Terraza is located next to the cathedral off Cadiz. Eating with views of the towers is a pleasure in itself. Also in the restaurant, you will dine very well based on the classics dishes. Three recommendations: seasoned potatoes, batter-fried white fish and tripe.

SAN FERNANDO GASTRONOMIC GUIDE OF THE PROVINCE OF CADIZ

SAN FERNANDO

THE CITY OF THE SALT MARSHES The marches, several zones which are flooded with water from the sea and which in another time were essential in the development of the salt industry, surround San Fernando. Its cuisine is one of the most peculiar coast areas of the province, Take note of these names: cañaíllas (sea snails), camarones (shrimp), bienmesabe (marinated fried shark), lenguados (flounders), lisas (striped mullet). If they are not engraved in your memory, they will surely become engraved in your palate.

Pleasant breakfast

In the province of Cadiz, people love to visit the “plazas” whose markets also have the same name. The San Fernando Plaza is a square which deserves a visit. Located in the city centre, the pleasure begins with the breakfast in its surrounding. In the Calle Hermanos Laulhé, next to the market, two “desayunerías”

(breakfast places) with a lively atmosphere: The Florida Bar and the La Plaza Bar have everything. In the Plaza del Rey, very nearby, El 44 with a terrace for breakfast “where you can stretch your legs”.

Local Marsh fish

If it is the season, from the end of October to end of December, the market

The Stall of Antonio el Málaga

(Calle San Onofre). There is usually a gastronomic fair in this season.

The Plaza del Rey

It is a very pleasant place to enjoy a mid-morning drink or snack. There is a famous terrace: La Gran Vía (plaza del Rey) where they have local wines to combine with cold snacks. Very close by, El Patio de Benitez

Interior of the Benítiz Patio

(elpatiodebenitez.com) a very popular place to enjoy Tapas. A good recipes for tomato soup or the tripe.

The Salinas (Salt Marshes)

San Fernando is surrounded by salt marshes. Some of them are still active and produce salt and delicious products -such as the flower of salt, the most gourmet version of this

previously fried in a brine solution with garlic and oregano or cumin, is known in San Fernando with the clever name of Bienmesabe. El bienmesabe dish is in the fried food places, the shops where they sell fried fish in brown paper bags. El Deán (calle Real, next to the Church: Iglesia del Carmen) is over two centuries old. In the same street, the fried fish shop: Virgen del Carmen (Real 144). The specialities with the most demand, besides the Bienmesabe, are the fried small cuttlefish or the fried shrimp.

Las Vacas, La Gallega with a large potato omelette and a heavenly empanada (stuffed pastry). In Calle Real número 20, Los Gallegos. In its terrace, it is a treat to try their octopus. More modern is El Embrujo Gallego, (avenida León Herrero n. 21) with a Galician stew which is excellent nourishment for your body.

Sweets with character

The sweet side of San Fernando has two names with a major tradition. In Calle Real n. 94, La Victoria, a bakery founded in 1914. Their version of the Roscos (fried donuts) of HolyWeek are pure “passion”.They only have them from 7th of January until Palm Sunday. In Calle Real in front of a church called Iglesia del Carmen, La Mallorquina, a terrace to enjoy the custom of having an afternoon coffee and pastry.

The Galician Bars

Another peculiar feature of San Fernando is the establishment with Galician cuisine. The former military training in the city led to an interesting cultural exchange in what is “eaten” here. The result are several Galician restaurants. In the Plaza de

Tortillitas de camarones (Shrimp fritters) Bartolo, curious restaurant at the shore of Bay

Inside the Bay

The beach called La Casería is a small fishing port. Located here is Bartolo a unique restaurant at the water’s edge. The place is shown in the photo and the house speciality is fried fish, with seasoned potatoes as mandatory appetizer. Beside it, the Merendero (snack place) La Corchuela, also charming and where you may also eat classic portions with magnificent views.

What is Tapeo?

In its restaurants, fishermen’s cuisine continues to be popular which can only be “domesticated” when the rolls enter the room from the bakery of de Fernando Damián.

... and the Tapas afterwards

Seasoned olives from Patricio

Very nutritional market

The Central market of Puerto Real begins in the outskirts. You may choose. If you want churros from the bar Arca Casa Ramón (calle La Plaza) and if you want a roll with ham and pleasant terrace at Mesón La Plaza (calle Soledad). Later, inside the walls of the market, notice the fish stands, or the olives of Patricio or the assortment of cheeses from the Sierra de Cadiz at Cosano.

Now that we are in the centre, the thing to do is to enjoy the snacks from the surroundings. Some interesting addresses are El Barril, in Calle Ancha, with an interesting variety of tapas. In Marinero en Tierra (plaza Poeta Rafael Alberti) the tapas, excellent and varied, are complemented with a nice terrace that has views of the sea.

Venta Paquete, famous for its pork cracklings

The pork crackling is a unique way to eat meat fried in lard. At Venta Paquete, on the Malas Noches road, in the outskirts of the city, you may to try them. While there, you can sample a good “berza” (cabbage), a legume stew which as a rule has a mixture of various meats which have been cooked in the stew.

Bizcotelas (meringue cake) and Piñoneras (pine nut sweets)

Puerto Real has interesting sweets to taste. In La Puertorrealeña (laportorrealeña.com) one of the most interesting is the “bizcotela”, a moist meringue filled cake and cream. On the other side of town, in Calle Sagasta, La Trufa, where they prepare the dish known as the typical sweet of Puerto Real, “the piñonera”, a type of marzipan, very moist, covered with pine nuts. If it is Lent

you must add another address, the bakery of Fernando Damián (calle Real) with amazing torrijas (French toast). As well as fluffy crumb rolls, just like a pillow but in a baker’s version.

Clams from the marshes

Three spots for clams

At Puerto Real, they make clam stews. The clams are still caught in the marsh zones which surround the town. Who knows which is better, the bivalve clam or the sauce in which it is submerged. Take note of these three addresses. In Calle Nueva the Bar Dorado, a very lively place with a bar and dining room with a lot of people. While there, besides the clams, you must order the marinated fried shark. In a quieter place, the restaurant Jardín de Canalejas. The patio itself is worth a visit in Calle Vaqueros. Also look out for their grilled peppers. In the outskirts of an industrial park (Edificio Bahía), a very curious spot: Casa Manolito. It is a bar for the workersof the zone but it has earned so much prestige that many

people go to try their clams and also their rice dishes with prawns.

Two unique spots

Two unique spots, for friends who like something different. In the beach promenade, El Callejón del Vino, a tavern to have a sherry along with a cold tapa. In Calle San Ignacio, Los Esteros, a dining room with a chimney, where you can try hunting game and fish dishes from the zone. Pay attention to the suggested dishes of the day.

A special place

Puerto Real has one of the places in the province with the best fried fish: La Taberna del Puerto. They leave it crunchy on the outside and juicy on the inside and they do a wonderful job with what the zone calls “rock fish”, a species with a defined taste. They have sea bream or sea bass. They also make good clams and on occasions they have muergos (razor clams), a shellfish almost identical to the navajas (razor shell

El Fogón del Guanche is one of the most outstanding places for creative cuisine in the la Bay of Cadiz. In spite of the quality of their offer, the prices are moderate. People eat based on dishes to be shared and the menu changes daily. The dishes are shown on a chalk board. In any case, if they have rice dishes, it is worth ordering them. Different but exquisite. They prepare the fish dishes very well and you must leave room for dessert. Best to reserve early. They are in Calle Amargura.

THE CUISINE OF LEVANTE.

Perhaps it is because of Levante coast, or its history, but Tarifa conserves a cuisine with great products. From the “macho” bread with impressive crumbs which they continue to make in Facinas, to the cuisine based on the “voraz” (sea bream), one of the best fishes in the Strait as well as a spectacular offer of tapas. There is also the authentic flavour of their pastries which they make with traditional formulas such as the meringue, the cream mille-feuille, named here as “tranvías” (trams), the cajillas (almond sweets) or the “tocino de cielo” (egg and syrup pudding)... which inspire passion.

VILLAMARTÍN

WHERE THE TORPEDOS ARE SWEET In the mid-20th century, Juan Moreno Vázquez created the “torpedo” pastry in his bakery. The name makes reference to the rockets which the Americans launched to conquer space. The sweet has become a famous emblem in the town, among reasons because this “torpedo” uses a delicious pastry cream as fuel.

The Sweet shop: Confitería de Juan Moreno

The breakfast in Villamartín must be a torpedo sweet. They are made in the Sweet Shop:

Sweets from the Sweet Shop: Juan Moreno

Confitería de Juan Moreno, Calle Boticas, and it is roll filled with pastry cream wrapped in a paper with a blue torpedo silhouette. The bakery has an extensive assortment of sweets. Everything which has their delicious cream must be noted down. Their “rosco blanco” (white donut cakes), is one of the oldest sweets from the firm which has 125 years of history.

Los Horgazales, olive oil farm The farm called Los Horgazales (loshorgazales. com) is located beside the road. In a former barracks of the Civil Guard, they have founded an oil mill which produces olive oils based on the harvest from which the family makes it. The golden jewel of the house is an oil from the manzanilla variety. You can make visits to the installations.

El Pengue is one of the outstanding places for gastronomy in the Sierra de Cadiz. Managed by Marco Antonio López, the restaurant is located in

In Bornos, they make a unique bread called “ablandao”, it is a type of mollete (roll) but it has more crumbs. It is eaten for breakfast but they are also the perfect travelling companion for another of the town treasures, its morcilla (blood sausage).

The “ablandaos”

This roll has a soft crust and when it is touched, it sinks just like an old-fashioned pillow. In the Bakery: Panadería Las Hoces, in the Calle Higuera, they make it every day. They are fourth generation bakers. To eat them, in the centre of town in Calle San Jerónimo, there is the Bar Vicente Oca which serves them for breakfast. They can be “seasoned” with the lards from the local butcher shops, which are also very well prepared.

Ablandaos (Soft Muffins) from Las Hoces

The morcilla (blood sausage)

The version of blood sausage which is made in Bornos has become very famous. There are several butcher shops which make it, we like the version from Foro, in the Calle Peña. Here, Ana Isabel Nieto makes them “by sight” without measuring the ingredients, “just as I was taught by my teachers”. The flavour of the sausages is spiced with a touch of “matalahúga” (anise).

Snacks in the city centre

In Bornos, there are numerous Tapas bars. We propose a couple of places to practice one of the most pleasant verbs: eating tapas. In the Avda. de Andalucía, there is the Gastrobar Los Jerónimos, with a tapas selection with several innovative touches. There is a terrace. In the Avenida Cauchil, there is the Mesón Los Olivares.

Mesón Los Olivares

Avenida de la Constitución; it has select raw materials and they bring fresh fish and seafood from the coast which they expertly prepare. You can also find good stews from the zone. If in season, you can find fresh “habichuelas” (string beans), a typical legume from the town which is now hardly cultivated. They prepare it in diverse stews. There is an interesting stew in which they combine them with local pork meats.

ALGODONALES GASTRONOMIC GUIDE OF THE PROVINCE OF CADIZ

The tagarninas stew

ALGODONALES

GREAT FOOD STORIES In Algodonales, there are many stories to be told. There is the recipe book of Josefita, a baker whose recipes are still made in the town despite the fact that they are over a century old or the tagarninas stew, one of special stews which help you to feel peace with the world. Listen to them.

The breakfasts of El Cortijo

El Cortijo is a hotel complex located next to the road which crosses Algodonales. It plays the role of the typical roadside restaurant in Cadiz. They sell products from the zone, you have snacks or a meal, take note of their version of pork loin in lard. One of their strengths are the breakfasts with exquisite molletes (rolls) from neighbouring Puerto Serrano. You can enjoy them in the nice roofed terrace.

Olive oil, cheese and wine At the entrance to the town, there is the Oil Mill: Almazara Virgen del Rosario

El Mogote

Cheeses from Granja Madrigueras

(algodoliva.com). They produce an unfiltered extra virgin olive oil for the lovers of intense flavours with personality. In the outskirts, he Farm: Granja Madrigueras (carretera de Madrigueras) a small cabin with goats which produces high quality cheeses. You may visit them and they even organize workshops to demonstrate their work. The third pillar is called Winery: Bodega Viña Santa María de los Reyes (vinasmr.es). They produce red wines such as the one with the grape variety: petit verdot. You may find it in El Cortijo or the Venta Salas.

In Algodonales, there is a typical stew which is made with legumes and “tagarninas”, a wild plant that grows in the province. In the Roadside Restaurant: Venta Salas located by the side of the national road, they make this stew which includes pieces of blood sausage which adds even more joy to this dish. A very pleasant terrace to eat.

The views of El Mogote

El Mogote (elmogote.com) is a recreational area located in front of the lake in Zahara. Their views are spectacular and you may rent a “piraagua” (canoe). Before or after a stroll, you can have an afternoon snack or a something from the restaurant. The experience will purify your soul el alma.

Tapas in the city centre

In the centre of Algodonales, you can enjoy snacks. We especially recommend one: El Canijo. It is in Avenida de la Constitución. Small, but full of charm. Please note their fried aubergine, a prodigy of elegance in the simple things of life. To complete the scene, you may order a potato salad or a stew.

The Recipe Book of Josefita The Bakery: Pastelería Orozco was founded in 1907. Josefita Gómez wrote a notebook with her master chef recipes. Her grandchildren, who now manage the bakery, continue to consult its pages to make the sweets, just like she used to make them.

ARCOS DE LA FRONTERA

Eat a snack on the slope The city centre of Arcos is very beautiful, full of houses with a lot of history. We recommend a place for you to make the perfect stop, the Tavern Jóvenes Flamencos in the Calle Deán Espinosa.

THE VIEW FROM ABOVE Arcos is a town in the heights on a mountain slope. Go out for tapas in the city centre, after the ascent, it is pure enjoyment. Some names to remember: “abajao” soup, “bollos” (donut cakes) from Arcos, red wines...

Historical breakfast... or with views

For breakfast, we suggest two options. The first is a little far from the city, in a road junction which extends from Arcos to Medina. The Roadside Restaurant: Venta Junta de Los Rios is over a century old and before breakfast, which is made with generous slices of bread, you must go to have a look

The Winery: Bodega Huerta de Albalá

at the “environment”, a large shop in which you can find everything from “cántaros de barro” (clay pots) to a collection of knives. In the road which goes to El Bosque, in the junction known as Las Abiertas, there is the Venta Mesa Jardín. Its terrace is very nice and for breakfast, there country style bread with many good things to put on it.

Roadside Restaurant: Venta Junta de los Ríos

They have good tapas, interesting with innovative touches but you can also find the typical dish from Arcos, the “abajao”, an asparagus soup so dense that it seems more like an omelette than a soup.

The Bollos (donut cakes) from Arcos

The city also shares its name with a sweet pastry. It is called the “bollo de Arcos”, but the same as the “abajao” soup, things are not what they seem. It is actually a donut cake, but with soft
