| The port of Huelva holds a very prominent place in what is known as the “shellfish route”, and its fish market is stocked with the day’s catch of various kinds of prawn and bream, skate and sole. |
| These enable delicious dishes to be served up, particularly tollos con tomate (smooth-hound shark with tomato), sea bream cooked with onion, cuttlefish with beans, and skate in paprika sauce. |
| Spain’s finest cured mountain ham comes from the highlands in Huelva, and is protected by a ‘denomination of origin’. The region also has excellent minced-pork sausage and other sausage meats. |
| As regards desserts, the province’s fruit can be singled out: peaches from Nava, melons and watermelons from Cortegana, quince from Fuenteheridos and strawberries from Lepe; and for the seriously sweet-toothed, there are the special Easter cakes called hornazos, the tocinitos de cielo (made with syrup and egg yolks), and Moguer pies. |
