Murcia airport -- Gastronomy

With the Mediterranean Sea lapping at its coastline, it is impossible for the visitor to leave Murcia without visiting one of its local restaurants and trying the shellfish and fish, which is especially tasty when cooked in a salt crust or "a la espalda" (lightly fried and baked). Seafood dishes include grey mullet, which is often baked and whose roe are considered a delicacy in the region; gilt-head sea bream and sea bass are as famous as the small prawns from Mar Menor, which have an exquisitely sweet taste. It is also compulsory to again mention the "caldero" here, as it is the most important sea dish: it is a typical fisherman's concoction made of rice, fish and the hot "ñora" pepper. Fruit can be eaten as a dessert and its availability depends on the time of the year: peaches in wine, oranges with cinnamon, strawberries from Rincón de Seca, pears, apricots and every other type of Mediterranean fruit. Murcia's confectionery is also very varied: "tocino de cielo", made with egg yolks and syrup, "yemas de Caravaca", a cake made with egg yolks, marzipan from Moratalla, "Cabello de Ángel", pumpkin strands in syrup, "bizcochos borrachos", sponge soaked in wine and syrup, "tortada murciana", made from meringue and "paparajotes", a dessert of Arab origin which is made with lime leaves wrapped in a fine sweet pastry and coated in sugar and cinnamon.

All Murcian wines are very varied although its reds have the best reputation. There are three Denominations of Origin: Jumilla, Yecla and Bullas, the latter being the most recent addition. A part from these D.O.s, there are many other local wines of excellent quality from Comarcas de Campo de Cartagena, Ricote and Abanilla. The traveller who stops at Murcia should not leave without visiting the restaurant Raimundo González, which has been awarded with one sun by the CAMPSA Guide. Raimundo González has become a real institution within the city due to the fact that it uses top-quality local ingredients. The restaurants El Chaleco, which represented the region at Expo in Seville; Hispano, whose menu offers a different home-made stew every day; and José María-Los Churrascos, which serves carefully selected fish and seafood, are other good alternatives for the visitor.Region of Murcia, the market garden of Spain.
