Gazpacho of course is very popular in the warm summer months (But choose your restaurant carefully many places now just buy it from the local Mercadona supermarket, Chill it slightly and charge a fortune for it) ,Real gazpacho needs to be made the day before,chilled overnight and served with fresh finely chopped onions and peppers.Fresh salads and fruit are in abundance in this area and a very simple but delicious starter is freshly sliced tomatoes served with chopped garlic and covered with extra virgin olive oil. Manchego cheese Seved in triangles again with olive oil and Serrano ham, A cured ham left to hang can be found in many bars,this is served thinly sliced , as a rule the darker the colour the better the quality
