Líjar

Village

Líjar is a municipality of Almería province, in the autonomous community of Andalusia, Spain. On 14 October 1883 Lijar declared war on France because, "Our King Alfonso, when passing through Paris on the 29th day of September was stoned and offended in the most cowardly fashion by miserable hordes of the French nation." No actual fighting ever took place. In 1983, Lijar declared peace.

The local larder

What people eat in Andalucía when they eat well.

Gazpacho y salmorejo

Tomato, oil and bread, well chilled in summer; every household has its own touch.

Jamón ibérico

From the Andalusian sierras, thinly hand-carved; order the tapa with your wine.

Aceite de oliva virgen extra

A good share of the world's extra virgin olive oil is made here, and breakfast is bread with it.

Pescaíto frito

Flour, clean oil and a quick fry; a coastal custom that climbs to the sierra.

Markets and local produce

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 Líjar's market day. Every village has its own: better to ask than to make it up.
