Tips for Gastronomy

The ABC of Tapas

Don't leave without trying a 'marinera' (donut with salad and an anchovy), a 'sailor' (the same but with an anchovy) or a 'bicicleta' (just the donut and the salad).

Don't Eat the Leaf

The most famous dessert is 'paparajote' (a lemon leaf coated in dough and fried, with sugar and cinnamon).You eat the batter, but you don't eat the leaf inside!

'Lateness' is Law

In Murcia the 'tardeo' is very popular: start drinking beers and tapas after eating and extend the after-dinner meal until it joins the night.
