Albacete eats like the agricultural heart of La Mancha: heavy on lamb, game, manchego, saffron and the slow stews of the high plain. The signature dishes are atascaburras (a salt-cod and potato purée with garlic and walnuts), gazpacho manchego (a hot game stew thickened with torn flatbread), and moje (a chopped salad with tuna, anchovies and pomegranate). The cheap-and-cheerful tapas crawl in the streets around Calle Tesifonte Gallego is the local way to dinner.
