What to eat
The lamb, roasted in a wood-fired oven slowly and with care, should not be missed, nor should desserts from the palace¿s recipe books such as the 'Cañas del Duque rellenas de crema de vainilla' (tube-shaped pastries filled with vanilla cream), 'Pastel de membrillo' (quince cake) and the 'Dulcería en sartén' (pan fried sweets).
The fields of the Ribera del Arlanza provide the area with some magnificent wines that have a very distinct character; the tempranillo or 'tinto fino' grape, as it is referred to locally, is king in these delicious reds.
