The local cuisine in Teulada reflects the rich agricultural and maritime heritage of the region. Fresh seafood is a staple, with dishes such as “paella de marisco” (seafood paella), “caldereta” (fish stew), and grilled prawns being popular choices at local restaurants. Rice dishes, particularly the famous Valencian paella, are central to the food culture, and Teulada is known for its use of locally grown ingredients such as saffron, olive oil, and vegetables.
Teulada is also famous for its Moscatel wine, a sweet, aromatic wine made from grapes grown in the region’s vineyards. Visitors can enjoy wine tastings at local bodegas and pair the wine with typical regional dishes such as “coca de verduras” (vegetable flatbread) and “bollos de aceite” (olive oil rolls).
Local markets, such as the one held weekly in the town square, offer a chance to sample fresh produce, artisanal cheeses, cured meats, and other regional specialties. Dining in Teulada is a celebration of the region’s agricultural bounty, with many restaurants offering farm-to-table menus that highlight seasonal ingredients.
