Orihuela offers an attractive maritime facade that is a sum of recoleta coves, beaches of golden sand, careful urbanizations and two collected marinas. From north to south, a lively cove and an open beach, both with services and a careful promenade, give way to a series of small coves perfect for diving in its transparent waters.La Zenia beach is a good place for windsurfing and, between Cabo Zen and Cabo Roig, there are beautiful coves again. At the foot of Cabo Roig, a yacht club offers sailing and windsurfing school services and between this and the marina Campoamor opens a wide beach always dotted with windsurfing sails. In the southern end, the beach of Mil Palmeras merges with that of the neighboring municipality. The nautical offer is completed with three excellent golf courses located a few meters from the sea.The cuisine of this land is eminently traditional and its gastronomic delights range from vegetable dishes such as cooked with balls, crumbs, rice from the three handles, highbells, conch cones, gachasmigas, wheat picao, mondongo, gypsy pot, stew of meatballs, , Plain rice, rice with vegetables, with rabbit or with any other variety until the tasty rice with crust, dish whose origin is disputed diverse populations of Bajo Segura and Bajo Vinalopó. It is necessary to emphasize the great quality of locally made sausages: summer sausages, onion sausage, rogue sausage, morcón, blanco, white and red sausage. Among the typical entrees of the area are the salted special: bonito, mojama, roe and tuna.In the coast, the fish assumes a great part of the protagonism, being able to the visitor to taste dishes like: cauldron, arroz a banda, seafood paella, mullet or sea bream, roasted fish or simply grilled fish.Among the desserts, apart from the great variety of fruits, stands the local baked goods. Although there are some newly created patisseries, most of them maintain in their products an artisan tradition that to a great extent is of Arab origin. Where this tradition has remained in a state of greater purity has been in the cloistered convents, where exquisite pastels of glory, zamarras, boros, hooves, valarinos, tortadas of yolk, pillows, etc. can still be bought through the lathe. Many sweets are typical of a certain period: the pillows and the balls of San Antón, the paparajotes and donuts for Advent, the yolks and caramel for Holy Week, porridge with pancakes and calabazate for All Saints and the toas and mantecados for Christmas .Orihuela has a complete restoration offer where you can enjoy all these succulent dishes and thus regain strength to carry out the many activities that the City offers.
