Murcia's Gastronomy

Due to the geographical diversity of the Region, the gastronomy in Murcia offers many varied dishes created with native products. They can be divided into three categories: the sea, the orchard and the interior. With excellent vegetables from the garden, good selection of meats and the prized treasures from the sea, Murcia’s gastronomy is just another way to enjoy the region.

Along the Coast, the following dishes are popular:

• Caldero: rice, fish (grey mullet, angler fish, grouper) cooked in an iron pot, with round peppers and ali-oli (garlic mayonnaise).
• Fish covered in salt and baked in the oven. Grey mullet roe, salted tuna and langostinos (prawns) from the Mar Menor.
• One cannot go without trying Cierva Pie, stuffed with eggs and meat
• And when in Aguilas, one must order sardines “moraga”-style or a rice dish cooked on a stone.

Among the most important dishes from the Huerta Region of Murcia are:

• Rice and beans
• Gypsy pot (stew)
• Turkey stew with meat balls
• Michirones (faba beans stew)
• Chicken or rabbit stews
• Salads and thousands of local vegetable combinations

Cooking Pot Cuisine uses imagination to compensate for the basic nature of its primary ingredients:

• Rice with vegetables
• Soup with meatballs

Pork has been a staple of the Huerta’s economy and is used every way possible:

• Barbecued or “a la plancha” (griddle)
• Not to mention a whole range of sausages (tripe, sausage links, blood sausages…)

On rainy and cloudy days:

• Migas, made with flour, oil, water, salt and patience
• Gazpacho from Jumilla
• Gazpacho from Yecla
• Pickled partridges or rice with rabbit
• When in season, in Calasparra, rice with snails
• In the Ricote Valley, there is tender oven roasted lamb Moorish style
• Excellent and strong flavoured goat cheeses, prepared fresh and cured or with wine or paprika…

Fruit preserves constitute a thriving industry: excellent marmalades, jams... In addition, there is a variety of honey with different aromas from the fields of the region; and also spices and seasonings.

Pastries that deserve mentioning are:

• Tocinos de cielo (pudding made with egg yolk and syrup)
• Marzipans
• Yolks from Caravaca
• Macaroons

The Region of Murcia cultivates vineyards and has been producing Wines since Roman times. There are white, red and rosé wines with rich bouquets for every palate

• Wines from Cartagena Country
• Wines from Ricote        
• And, of course, the three Denominations of Origin: Jumilla, Yecla and Bullas

Due to their high quality, several products from the Region of Murcia have been awarded with a Denomination of Origin:

• Calasparra Rice
• Murcia Cheese and Murcia Wine Cheese
• Murcia Paprika
• Wines from Bullas, Jumilla and Yecla
• Pears from Jumilla
