(a local cod dish) made in different styles.
Peppers, though not from the region, are
still Navarrese and provide an excellent
garnish for meat dishes or are delicious
when stuffed with meat or fish. And for
dessert, what else, local cheese and dairy
products: junket, curd cheese, gaztazar

to round the meal off, such as the well-known
