El Provencio

Village

El Provencio is a small town and municipality in Cuenca, Spain with a population of 2,367 permanent inhabitants (2022 estimate). It has kept much of its medieval heritage and is on the newly planted trail that marks the route followed by the title character of Miguel de Cervantes's novel Don Quixote. El Provencio sits in the extreme southern area of Cuenca, bordering both Albacete and Ciudad Real. The major highway linking the town to the rest of Spain is the National 301 Madrid - Cartagena, and it is about 81 kilometers south of the city of Cuenca.

The local larder

What people eat in Castilla-La Mancha when they eat well.

Queso manchego

From Manchega sheep, with PDO; semi-cured or cured, never missing from the table.

Pisto manchego

Garden tomato, pepper and courgette, with a fried egg if you let yourself be spoiled.

Azafrán de La Mancha

The world's most expensive spice is harvested here by hand, flower by flower, every October.

Migas de pastor

Day-old bread, garlic and paprika; waste-not cooking that tastes of the countryside.

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.

El Provencio has a weekly market, but we don't know which day.
