The Costa de Almería can also be discovered through its gastronomy. The Mediterranean, local produce and recipes passed down from generation to generation are all part of a simple cuisine full of flavour. During your holiday, you’ll find plenty of products and dishes that offer a taste of the province’s culinary identity.

Fresh fish, flavours of the Mediterranean

With kilometres of coastline, it’s no surprise that fish plays an important role in Almería’s cuisine. Grilled fish, fried seafood and a variety of dishes made with produce from the sea feature on the menus of many restaurants and beach bars along the coast.

In places such as Roquetas de Mar, sitting down for a meal near the Mediterranean is a great opportunity to try fresh fish and discover a cuisine closely connected to the sea.

Almería-style migas, tradition on the plate

Migas are one of the most representative dishes of Almería’s gastronomy. Traditionally made with semolina flour, water, olive oil and salt, they can be served with a wide variety of ingredients, from peppers and cured meats to fish.

Interestingly, despite the province’s dry climate, migas are particularly associated with rainy days, making them one of those culinary traditions that offer an insight into local culture.

Almería’s market gardens, at the heart of the table

Tomatoes, peppers, courgettes and other vegetables are part of both Almería’s agricultural landscape and its cuisine. Produce from Almería’s market gardens features in traditional recipes as well as simpler Mediterranean dishes where the ingredients take centre stage.

If you stay at BLUESEA Brisa Roquetas, you can make the most of your holiday by discovering restaurants, markets and flavours in Roquetas de Mar and other parts of the coast.

Fresh fish, migas and locally grown produce represent three sides of Almería’s gastronomy: sea, tradition and land. Three flavours that let you discover the Costa de Almería from the table too.
