Mora’s local cuisine reflects its agricultural roots, with olive oil taking center stage in many traditional dishes. One of the town’s most famous dishes is “migas,” a hearty plate made from breadcrumbs, garlic, chorizo, and often drizzled with local olive oil. Another popular dish is “gachas,” a type of porridge made from flour, water, and olive oil, served with pork or other savory ingredients.
Olive oil is used in almost every aspect of Mora’s culinary traditions, from drizzling over salads to frying fish and meat. Visitors will also find delicious regional specialties like Manchego cheese, which is produced in the wider Castille-La Mancha region, and “ajoarriero,” a garlic-based dish made with cod.
Mora’s local restaurants offer a variety of dining experiences, from rustic eateries serving traditional fare to more contemporary spots where visitors can enjoy modern interpretations of classic dishes. Food festivals, such as the Olive Oil Festival, also provide opportunities to sample Mora’s finest products.
