Foodie Moments
Andalusia is a land bursting with sensations. It is made up of coastline, marsh, mountains, countryside, plains and desert... It is a patchwork of colours, scents, knowledge and flavours... And each dish has its time and place.
Have you tasted wild wine aged when the weather first gets cold in winter? Have you ever heard the expression "a spoonful and one step back" by nomadic shepherds? Have you walked next to a herd of Iberian pigs while they are raised in the mountains? Have you fished and cooked in an estuary? Have you had fried flour crumbs for breakfast on a rainy morning?
In Andalusia you can cook up endless gastronomic adventures. Find your favourite and enjoy the moment!
