BREAD

Call a spade a spade. To be clear, Granada’s baking tradition is unquestionable, due to its texture and that crunchy touch. And two elements have the answer to a well-kept secret: the high quality of the flour as well as a healthy, low-mineral water from the springs in the area.

If we go to the municipality of Víznar, we will find delicious breads with different shapes: the twisted rolls, salaíllas, jallullas or the cakes of the carding are some examples. Not surprisingly, it owns the Protected Geographical Indication (PGI), a recognition that its neighboring town, Alfacar, also possesses, which with the firewood from the forests of Alfaguara gives bread a special touch when cooking inside their ovens.

Schedule: The second Sunday of January, Alfacar welcomes the Night of the Capachos, closely linked to its baking tradition, since long ago bonfires were made to burn these containers where they carried foods, once deteriorated. Nowadays, these bonfires continue to be made to burn all kinds of useless elements.
