Pedreguer offers visitors a taste of authentic Mediterranean cuisine, with a focus on locally grown produce and traditional recipes passed down through generations. Like much of the Valencia region, the town is known for its paella, a rice dish typically made with rabbit, chicken, or seafood, and flavored with saffron and local vegetables. Another popular dish is “arroz al horno,” a hearty baked rice dish that includes a variety of meats and legumes.
The local markets in Pedreguer are the perfect place to discover fresh ingredients, including olives, almonds, citrus fruits, and tomatoes, which feature prominently in the town’s cuisine. Visitors can enjoy these flavors at traditional restaurants and tapas bars that serve local favorites like “tapas de sepia” (grilled cuttlefish) and “caldereta de marisco” (seafood stew).
For those with a sweet tooth, the region’s desserts, such as “turrón,” a nougat made from almonds and honey, are not to be missed. Pedreguer’s proximity to the coast also means that fresh seafood is always on the menu, making it a paradise for food lovers.
