Conil. Where to eat? Mediterranean Cuisine
The famous Mediterranean diet, known for its health benefits as well
as the taste of its ingredients, can be credited to a particular conjunction
of factors: the use of fresh ingredients from around the Mediterranean,
the wisdom of age-old traditional recipes, and the time-honoured methods
of preparation (for example, spit, oven, grill or open fire) of these
dishes.
In broad outline, the Mediterranean diet is based on a
healthy intake of vegetables, pulses, dried fruits, pasta,
cereals, fruit, green vegetables, fish, milk and dairy
products, and, of course, the finest olive oils in the
Mediterranean. Meats and, naturally, wines are also important,
but both in moderation. A diet originally based on poverty
but now served to royalty is the secret of the balanced
Mediterranean diet.
