Called "El plato de los montes", this hearty dish will satisfy you. It is the famous dish of the Mounts and can be tasted in many "ventas" (taverns on the road). This dish was born at the beginning of the 20th century and was the favourite of the muleteers who used to cross the mountains with their loaded animals.
