Gastronomy of Castilla la Mancha

The cuisine of Castilla-la-Mancha commonly known as ‘Manchega’ is sober, abundant and tasty, and its origins can be traced to the shepherds. The cuisine is based in produce of the land, region's long tradition of hunting and cattle-breeding, a typical Toledo dish is stewed partridge, quail or venison. Those with a sweet tooth have the Toledo’s famous marzipan shaped into balls, ovals, or little figurines.
