Sopa Morellana, Soup from Morella, and flaons, also a Morellana creation, are two authentic delicacies that you must try when visiting this incredible Medieval town, which lies in the shadow of its magnificent castle. After a day of sightseeing in Morella, what better way to recharge the batteries than with a hot comforting bowl of traditional soup, bursting with flavour and surprise ingredients?
Morellana soup is made from a tasty broth that bubbles away for hours, chock-full of meat and vegetables. Meanwhile, the best, doughy part of the dish is prepared for baking: the buñuelos - dumplings - whose recipe is similar to choux pastry. These dumplings are then cooked again in the soup, soaking up all the flavours and scrumptious juices from the broth.
A visit to Morella is not only a step into the area’s fascinating historical legacy, but also a great chance to try delicious local dishes like Morellana soup, flaons, traditional requesón (similar to ricotta cheese) and many more tasty delights. And we can’t forget the cured meats! Fancy planning a cultural and foodie mini-break to Morella with a bowl of its very own traditional soup as the final flourish?
