The local larder

What people eat in Cantabria when they eat well.

Cocido montañés

White beans with cabbage and cured meats; the dish the northern weather calls for.

Anchoas de Santoña

Hand-filleted one by one; the most serious tins on the Cantabrian coast.

Sobaos pasiegos

Butter, sugar and egg from the Pas valleys; for breakfast or a snack.

Quesada pasiega

Moist fresh-milk dessert, baked slowly.

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