Sobrarbe’s gastronomy: discover our typical dishes
The flavors of our region
Within rural tourism we can include many aspects that help us to know and understand the territory we visit. One of them is food, and there are few things better than arriving at a new place and discovering its flavors and smells. If you want to enjoy the gastronomy of Sobrarbe do not miss the recommendations we make in today’s post.
As we always say, we will advise you when you come to visit us but, to whet your appetite, and never better said, take good note of all the delicious things you will find here.
Meat: star product of our gastronomy
Meat can be considered the star product of the gastronomy of our region. Especially lamb. You can enjoy it grilled, for example. It’s a marvel!
We remind you that in our common areas you have space to make your own barbecue.
The chiretas
One of the most typical dishes of the region are the chiretas. It is lamb tripe stuffed with rice and meat that is traditionally made in many houses in the area but you can also buy it in stores or eat it in restaurants.
Slaughter products
The pig slaughter is the most popular gastronomic festival in our region. This is the time to prepare sausage, chorizo or pâté, and also what is known as “mondongo”, that is, torteta and blood sausage.
Sobrarbe confectionery
If you are more of a sweet tooth, you will fall in love with our region’s pastries. You cannot leave without trying the nut pastillos ( and their versions with almonds or pumpkin), the crespillos (made with borage or spinach leaves coated in sweet dough), the walnut empanada with honey and sugar, the guirlache or the peach with wine. The best dessert to end a great meal in excellent company.
Salmorrejo
Salomorrejo is a typical Aragonese dish from this area of Huesca. It is quite potent, since in the past it was what shepherds and people who worked in the fields ate. It served to give them energy, and no wonder…. It is made with meat (loin, sausage, ham, torteta…), eggs and bread.

Of course, we want you to come and taste all these products (and many more!) in person, but if you want to continue enjoying our flavors afterwards, you can also buy Sobrarbe products online, such as La Marmita jams, Saravillo cheese or Rondadora beer.
