A reference of Castilian cuisine

Charra cuisine, which is the name given to locals in Salamanca, is essentially based on meat. Some of the highlights include cured meats and cold cuts such as the Candelario chorizos, Guijuelo Iberian ham, local longaniza (pork sausage), cular chorizo (made only from Iberian pork) and the famous farinatos from Ciudad Rodrigo, which are cold cuts made with lard, breadcrumbs, paprika, onion, salt and aniseed seeds.

With a clear Castilian influence in its cuisine, some of the most traditional dishes you can find here are the tostón (Castilian-style roast suckling pig) and roast suckling lamb. If you like beef, the morucha variety is the local option and a highly popular choice.

The trout caught from the Tormes river is the freshest fish you can find in the area whereas in terms of canned fish, the best is the special cod prepared in Béjar (bacalao a la bejarana).

At Hotel Hospes Palacio de San Esteban you can enjoy all of these culinary delights and more thanks to the exquisite Castilian cuisine of the highest quality we prepare in our kitchens and serve at our restaurant.
