A visit to Gredos Garage would not be complete without discovering the gastronomy of the Tiétar Valley. This Ávila district, sheltered by the Sierra de Gredos, enjoys a Mediterranean microclimate that produces exceptional ingredients. After a day exploring our museum or driving through Gredos roads, nothing beats sitting down to enjoy the local cuisine.
Star Local Products
The Tiétar Valley is a land of authentic produce:
- Avila beef: an indigenous breed with extraordinary meat, holding a Protected Geographical Indication
- Barco butter beans: large white beans cooked with chorizo and black pudding
- Goat's cheese: artisan-made in local dairies
- Gredos honey: holm oak, heather or wildflower, of exceptional quality
- Chestnuts: the chestnut groves produce fruit roasted in autumn
- Cebreros wines: high-altitude Garnachas with unique personality
Typical Dishes You Must Try
Local cuisine is comforting and generous. The essentials are: patatas revolconas with La Vera paprika and crispy pork scratchings, chargrilled Avila beef chop, Castilian migas with grapes and scratchings, and stewed Barco butter beans with chorizo. For dessert, yemas de Santa Teresa and chestnuts in syrup.
D.O. Cebreros Wines
Cebreros wines are enjoying an extraordinary renaissance. Made from Garnacha Tinta from century-old vines grown at altitude on granite soils, they produce reds with freshness, depth and mineral character. Wineries such as Comando G, Daniel Landi and Alfredo Maestro are putting this denomination on the international map.
