Food and Wine Trail

This trail brings together the fertile plain, vineyards, wine cellars, ovens and shared meals. The local history of wine has deep roots: a museum panel documents its presence some two thousand five hundred years ago, based on seeds and charcoal found in Iberian levels at Fuente Amarga. The museum’s galleries also preserve Greek vessels associated with drinking wine, such as kraters, which were used to mix wine with water.

The trail then takes us to the underground wine cellars, the grape harvest and the knowledge passed down through generations. Flour migas, produce from the kitchen garden, bottling vegetables, winter cooking and homemade sweets complete this story. We will also learn about the custom of going out into the countryside on Jueves Lardero. Notice how each dish brings together ingredients, utensils and occasions to gather: gastronomy is part of the village’s everyday life.
