Las Torres de Cotillas is known for its delicious traditional Spanish cuisine, which reflects the rich agricultural heritage of the region. One of the most famous dishes from the area is “paella,” a rice-based dish often prepared with local ingredients such as rabbit, chicken, and fresh vegetables. Another local favorite is “zarangollo,” a simple yet flavorful dish made with zucchini, onions, and eggs.
The town is also known for its use of fresh, locally grown produce in its dishes, particularly fruits and vegetables like tomatoes, peppers, and melons. Visitors can enjoy these flavors at the town’s various restaurants and cafes, many of which serve traditional Spanish tapas alongside local wines.
For those with a sweet tooth, the local dessert “tocino de cielo,” a rich, caramel-flavored custard, is a must-try. Food festivals and weekly markets offer opportunities to sample these traditional dishes and buy fresh, local products.
