What people eat in Castilla y León when they eat well.
Suckling lamb in a wood-fired oven, with salad and local red wine.
Rice and onion, griddled until crisp.
Hard-paste Castilian cured cheese; with candeal bread and a young red.
Ribera, Toro, Bierzo: several serious wine appellations in the region.
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 Congosto's market day. Every village has its own: better to ask than to make it up.
