For lovers of typical cuisine, the region offers a wide range of products. The region's restaurants offer traditional dishes such as fried river fish, fish stew, roast kid (goat) or suckling pig. There are still some months of the year in which other products are valued, such as river crayfish, migas or fava beans.
