Roquetas information
The gastronomy of Roquetas de Mar is characterised by its
offer of products and delicacies from a fishing maritime area,
highlighting the quality of its fish, which contribute to
the preparation of exquisite dishes such as "fish soup"
of Arab origin, as well as the "arroz aparte" (side
rice), which is a typical seaman´s dish and is unique
in the whole province. But undoubtedly, " La Moraga"
becomes a fiesta with ancestral tradition of old groups of
seamen who used to meet on the extensive beaches and which
has now turned into a social ludic act, where families come
from allo over the province the 29th of December to eat fish
and meat around fires and barbacues.
Roquetas de Mar is considered to be the Market Garden of Europe,
due to its extra-early fruit and vegetables. Logically these
products are consumed in the town by preparing exquisite dishes
such as our grilled vegetables, among others.
