Bib Gourmand: good quality, good value cooking
This delightful village is famous for its “Cocido Maragato”, a dish that for centuries has, against convention, been served here in reverse order (first the meat, then the chickpeas, followed by the soup at the end). At Coscolo, the special feature of this legendary recipe is that it is prepared with products that are smoked, cured and prepared on the property using ingredients sourced from the local area. To this stew the Navarra-born chef here likes to add tiny details that add even more personality, hence the change of name of the dish on the menu to that of his restaurant (“Cocido Coscolo”). Leave your car in the car park at the entrance to the village as only local residents are allowed to drive in.
