The cuisine of Guadalajara is rich in traditional flavors, heavily influenced by the agricultural products of the surrounding Alcarria region. One of the standout dishes is “asado de cabrito,” a roasted young goat dish often served during festive occasions. “Miguelitos” are another regional favorite, small puff pastries filled with cream, which visitors can enjoy as a sweet treat.
Another local specialty is the “morteruelo,” a type of game pate made with pork liver, partridge, and rabbit, seasoned with a blend of spices. Honey from the Alcarria region, a key local product, is used in many dishes and desserts, adding a unique sweetness to regional recipes.
For those looking to sample local cuisine, restaurants like Restaurante El Infantado and Mesón de Castilla offer a traditional dining experience, serving up local specialties alongside Spanish favorites like tapas and paella. Food markets such as the Mercado de Abastos are also great places to discover fresh local produce and artisanal products.
