You can’t beat a “guiso” on a cold wet day in Càdiz. The “stew of the day” at El Mercado in Calle Oenologos, Conil was Garbanzos con Langostinos. This is a typical Gaditano dish

The next day was even colder and wetter. In Ultramar y Nos in Càdiz they serve a different stew each day. The Tuesday stew of the day was Judiones con Langostinos.

In Bar Galindo a Berza Gaditana with chickpeas Cauliflower, Cardos and Tagarninas with a small piece of chorizo only as “Avios”

Berza also is the name of wild cabbage or collard greens, although cabbage does not form part of the dish as far as I can tell.

Menudo (Tripe with Chickpeas) is a Gaditano classic. This version is from a venta (roadside inn) near Benalup called La Cabrala. The sauce is enriched with the addition of pig”s trotter.
