Gastronomy & Flavors
The Plato de los Montes is a hearty and iconic dish from the inland mountain area of Málaga, especially popular in traditional ventas (country taverns) along the Montes de Málaga. It typically includes fried potatoes, pork loin cooked in lard (lomo en manteca), chorizo, morcilla (blood sausage), green peppers, and a fried egg. Rooted in the rural, working-class cuisine of the region, it was originally created to provide energy to farmers and muleteers. Today, it's a favorite among locals and visitors seeking authentic Andalusian comfort food with bold, rustic flavors.
