Discover where to eat in the Best Torrevieja Restaurants
Amongst Torrevieja’s many attractions as a Mediterranean tourist centre, is its superb gastronomy, which nowadays combines traditional dishes with “new cuisine”, and which can be found in most of the town’s restaurants.
Fish forms the basis of traditional Torrevieja cooking, along with vegetables from the nearby irrigated regions of the Segura river “the market garden of Europe”, and meats, especially pork, which is still made into delicious home made sausages and cold meats in areas around the town.
The most outstanding typical dish of Torrevieja is the “Caldero” (fish stew) which normally consists of tasty cuts of fish called names like: “the hen” (la gallina), “the cock” (el gallo), “soft roe” (lecha), “spider” (araña), “red mullet” (salmonetes) amongst others.
