Another local favorite is “flamenquín,” a rolled pork loin filled with ham and fried to crispy perfection.
The city’s culinary offerings also include hearty stews and dishes made with local vegetables and meats, such as “migas,” a dish made from fried breadcrumbs, typically served with chorizo and peppers. Visitors should also try the local “empanadas” and pastries, which are often made with olive oil and filled with sweet or savory fillings.
