Pulpí offers a rich culinary experience, showcasing the flavors of Andalusia with an emphasis on fresh, locally sourced ingredients. Traditional dishes include “ajo colorao,” a hearty stew made from potatoes, peppers, garlic, and dried fish, as well as “migas,” a dish made from fried breadcrumbs served with sausages, vegetables, and sometimes grapes. Seafood is abundant in Pulpí, given its proximity to the coast, with dishes like grilled sardines, octopus, and paella featuring heavily on local menus.
Local olive oil plays a significant role in the cuisine, with many dishes prepared with freshly pressed extra virgin olive oil. For dessert, visitors can enjoy “turrón,” a traditional Spanish nougat, especially popular during festive seasons. Pulpí’s food scene is complemented by a variety of tapas bars, where small plates of local delicacies can be enjoyed alongside a glass of regional wine or beer.
