The rise of gastronomic tourism.
Marcos Ortuño, tourism advisor, highlights the extraordinary fact that regional cuisine has reached almost the level of sun and beach tourism, with its rise as a tourist product that generates great interest. "A turning point," he says, "in line with the commitment of the Community-driven Strategic Tourism Plan 2022-2032."
The Murcia Region has a very rich and varied cuisine. In large part due to the products that exist in the region, many of them unique, such as Calasparra rice, fish and seafood from the Sea Minor or the fruit and vegetables from the garden.
We also owe the wealth of our cuisine to the influences of the civilizations that have passed through the Region. For example, thanks to the bat garden developed, whose products are basic in our gastronomy.
Murcia is rich in vegetables and fruits from its orchard, fish and seafood from its seas, not forgetting its farm and hunting meats.
It is also important to highlight the wines of Jumilla and the rice of Calasparra that have a world name of origin and fame.
Thanks to the two seas that bathe Murcia Region, its fish and seafood are of great importance in the gastronomy. There are species of their own bats such as gold of the Minor Sea, mujol or prawns of the Minor Sea.
