CUISINE
Traditional Mediterranean aromas and flavours are the essence of Costa Daurada's cuisine. The region's wealth of fresh, quality seafood and produce has given rise to an endless array of delectable dishes, as well as excellent wines from several select wine regions.
Discerning palates will want to sample the roasted calçots (a local variety of spring onion) in March, the wild boar stew in winter and the rossejat de fideus (a noodle paella) any time of year, as well as the region's world-famous xató (a cod salad served over curly endive) and Reus's stellar take on blancmange. Indeed, the region offers a genuine cornucopia of vegetables and meat, fish and fruit, nuts and world-class wines
