The gastronomy of the Costa de la Luz is closely connected to its surroundings. The Atlantic provides fish and seafood, while inland Huelva contributes products that are part of Andalusia’s culinary tradition. If you want to discover the destination through its food too, Huelva white prawns, cuttlefish and Jabugo ham are three flavours well worth trying.

Huelva white prawns, a taste of the Atlantic

The Huelva white prawn is one of the best-known products of the province’s gastronomy. Its flavour and texture mean it needs little preparation: boiled or grilled are two of the most popular ways to enjoy it.

During a holiday on the Costa de la Luz, you’ll find this seafood in many restaurants along the coast, alongside other fish and seafood from the Atlantic.

Cuttlefish, a classic of Huelva cuisine

Cuttlefish holds a special place in Huelva’s cuisine. This seafood features in popular recipes such as broad beans with cuttlefish and seafood stews, or is simply served grilled or fried.

It’s one of those ingredients that offers a taste of traditional, simple cuisine closely connected to life by the ocean.

Jabugo ham, from the mountains to the table

Although it takes us away from the coast, Huelva’s gastronomy would not be complete without Jabugo ham. Produced in the Sierra de Aracena y Picos de Aroche, it is one of the province’s most renowned products and perfectly completes this culinary journey between sea and land.

If you stay at BLUESEA El Cortijo, you can make the most of your holiday in Matalascañas by discovering restaurants and establishments where you can try some of these local flavours.

White prawns, cuttlefish and Jabugo ham represent three sides of Huelva’s gastronomy: the Atlantic, seafaring tradition and the mountains. Three flavours for discovering Huelva from the table too.
