Alpandeire gastronomy

Alpandeire, like the rest of the Genal Valley towns, has a rich gastronomy with a long tradition that combines products of the land with the alimentary diet depending on the season. The spring is the time of stews with wild grass like 'tagarninas', fennels, 'collejas' or wheat asparagus. Throughout the year you can taste the 'serranas' pots, diverse chickpea stews, and some meats like rabbit stews and an ample variety of dishes and recipes with pig meat. The most representative dishes are:
