Andalucian cuisine and the culinary heritage of Cádiz
What to eat in Cádiz? Andalusian cuisine is the backbone of what you’ll find in Cadiz, and it’s rich in history and flavor. Influences from Phoenician, Roman, and Moorish cultures are evident in dishes like pescaíto frito (fried fish), abaja de pescado (fish stew), gambas al ajillo (garlic prawns), tortillitas de camarones (shrimp fritters), cazón en adobo (marinated dogfish), and caldillo de perros (fish stewed in orange sauce). Meat lovers will also find plenty to savor, including guiso de rabo de toro (oxtail stew), pork, goat, lamb, and perdiz estofada (partridge casserole).
I’ve been living in this lovely area of Western Andalucia for the last 20 years or so and dedicate most of my time to the running of English language tourist information websites for the towns of Cádiz, Ronda, Grazalema, the famous or infamous Caminito del Rey, and also Wildside Holidays, which promotes sustainable and eco-friendly businesses running wildlife and walking holidays in Spain. My articles contain affiliate links that will help you reserve a hotel, bus, train or activity in the area. You don’t pay more, but by using them you do support this website. Thankyou!
