Gastronomía
GOURMET TERRITORY
The province of Cadiz is also home to fine cuisine, with innovative ingredients such as plankton and Bochas wine spheres. They have made an impact on gourmet cuisine. Not to mention seaweed; the waters of the Bahía de Cádiz are tranquil and get a lot of sun, which makes the seaweed grow bigger and juicier than anywhere else.
Payoya goat milk cheese has innumerable international awards to its name. A cheese made using traditional techniques from the milk of the Payoya goat, a breed local to the Sierra de Grazalema.
At El Bosque you can also find out how they made bread in the 18th century, from how the wheat is ground in a water mill to the baking process itself. All this happens in El Molino de Abajo, from where you can take home a nice, warm, freshly made loaf, or have it sent to your hotel. And try combining it with the local cured meats, which are even more delicious because here blood sausage, chorizo and salchichon are also an integral part of the culinary heritage of the province.

A museum for all ages where you can see bees at work and have fun dressed up as a beekeeper.
