GASTRONOMY

Strolls through the hot streets and towns of the province will afford visitors, especially at meal time, a well-deserved and refreshing surprise, the varied cuisine of the area. Not in vain is this part of Andalusia one of the best areas in which to enjoy the typical tapa, accompanied, according to personal taste, by a glass of cold beer or one of the region's robust wines. The highest quality wines of the region are produced mainly in the towns of Laujar de Andarax, Ohanes, Fondón, Alboloduy and Berja.

Seafood

Within the city of Almería, the neighbourhoods of Pescadería, El Alquián and Cabo de Gata, among others, are ideal for trying the typical fried fish, fried in the excellent olive oil of Tabernas and The Alpujarra. Fried fish is a staple all along the coast, always served in a delicious combination with fresh products from the vegetable garden. Visitors preferring to try the traditional home cooking of the inland regions will find it represented in many different kinds of hot tapas, such as migas and patatas a lo pobre, and, of course, the sausages and lomo. And to finish off a fine meal, nothing better than Moorish pastries.
