The mild temperate climate, proximity to the coast, wine and olive-growing, meat-curing and wonderful fresh fruits, vegetables and spices, nuts, berries etc, make the cuisine here justly world-famous.

Some of the most famous Andalucian delicacies are: Gazpacho: This world-famous cold soup is best made with Almeira tomatoes and cucumbers and has a medley of freshly chopped vegetables added to it.
