What people eat in Castilla-La Mancha when they eat well.
From Manchega sheep, with PDO; semi-cured or cured, never missing from the table.
Garden tomato, pepper and courgette, with a fried egg if you let yourself be spoiled.
The world's most expensive spice is harvested here by hand, flower by flower, every October.
Day-old bread, garlic and paprika; waste-not cooking that tastes of the countryside.
Almost every village has its market day and its producers: the cheesemaker, the baker, the vegetable garden next door. Ask at the tourist office or the bar on the square; they'll tell you where to buy straight from the maker.
We haven't confirmed Alustante's market day. Every village has its own: better to ask than to make it up.
