If you enjoy a warm and hearty casserole during these cooler winter days (well, cooler by Costa del Sol standards) then we highly recommend you take a quick trip down to Fuengirola for their annual \u2018Cazuela de la Abuela\u2019 (Grandma\u2019s Casserole) event <\/strong>which starts this weekend.<\/p>\n

This unique gastronomic event aims to boost the local restaurant scene during these quieter winter months and showcase the high-quality cuisine visitors can enjoy in many of the city\u2019s best bars, taverns and restaurants. It’s a great way to recover old traditional recipes<\/strong> which form the heart of Andalusian and Spanish cooking and focusing on those mouth-watering casseroles Grandma makes.<\/p>\n

This is now the 8th<\/sup> edition of this popular gastronomic contest and there are 58 establishments taking part, 10 of which are new to the event!

You\u2019ll have just over two weeks to visit these 58 restaurants and bars and sample a whole selection of mini casserole tapas. Each establishment has to prepare a specific dish which will be entered into the contest so you\u2019ve got quite a few \u2018cazuelas\u2019 to choose from. This year novelty is that there will recipes from different countries including, France, Belgium, Italy, Hungary, Japan, Ireland, India, Argentina, Poland, Mexico and China. <\/p>\n

It\u2019s traditional to issue special \u2018passports\u2019 during the contest<\/strong> where you will be able to collect stamps from all the restaurants you visit and tapas you taste. If you collect five different stamps and hand in your passport at the Tourism Office you\u2019ll be entered into a prize draw to win some fantastic prizes (see below) Just remember that you have to mark off your favourite casserole as the participating restaurants will be competing for the coveted prize of the \u2018Cazuela de Oro\u2019 (Golden Casserole).<\/p>\n

These \u2018passports\u2019 can be obtained at all participating establishments as well as the Town Hall, Casa de la Cultura and the Tourist Office. The passports are also very handy as they come with a map<\/strong> which pinpoints all the restaurants and bars taking part in the contest and will make finding them a lot easier.<\/p>\n

Participants who fill in their \u2018passports\u2019 and hand them in at the Tourist Office will receive a small surprise gift for their efforts (until stocks last) and will be entered into the prize draw to win fabulous prizes<\/strong> including a 43″ LCD TV, weekends away, hotel stays and meals in many of the establishments taking part in the event.<\/p>\n
