Algeciras - harbour -- Gastronomy

There is a lot more to Cádiz than just excellent fish. Meat also has a special role within the local gastronomy. Pork, baby goat, retinto-breed beef and game (both small and big) are common, with recipes like lamb casserole, Jerez-style cow's tail, sautéed steak, kidneys with and giblets. There was a bullfighter in Cádiz called el Chiclanero that was an excellent cook and whose speciality was bullfighter-style partridge. This dish is still served in Jerez and Chiclana and it is a delicacy that you must try. This region yields an excellent cabbage, used to make delicious stews. Olive oil, cheeses, dried meats, sausages and delicious bread (like breadsticks and regañas) are an important part of the local cuisine. Artichokes in olive oil and the classical minced meat soup are also delicious recipes from the extensive local repertoire. Turrón from Cádiz (a bar made with almonds and honey, similar to nougat) is multicoloured because of the caramelized fruits used in its making and constitutes a very popular dessert which, along with marzipan eels, gets mentioned in traditional songs. Tocino del cielo is another delicious dessert, traditionally made with the egg yolks that were discarded in the process of clarification of sherry, which used the whites to drag unwanted substances out of the precious wine.

In the province of Cádiz we have two Designations of Origin: Jerez and Manzanilla de Sanlúcar de Barrameda, great wines that are capable of comprising the whole oenology of a country. Sherry wines from Jerez, in addition to being a great beverage, is used as a seasoning for many of the region's traditional dishes. Stuck in the middle between tradition and modernity, El Faro del Puerto Restaurant, in Puerto de Santa María, is an excellent place to taste Cádiz's cuisine. It was rated 2 suns by the CAMPSA guide. Also excellent are Hacienda el Rosalejo, in Villamartín, near Arcos de la Frontera, La Mesa Redonda, in Jerez de la Frontera, Los Remos, in San Roque and Ventorrillo del Chato, in the city of Cádiz, all of them rated 1 sun by the CAMPSA guide.
