Crossed by the rivers Tajo and Jarama, Aranjuez is famous throughout the world for its orchards. Although its best-known crops are strawberries and asparagus, in its lands there are also a great number of buds, berries and high-grown herbs, such as coruja or purslane.
The hunting tradition that the monarchs implanted in Aranjuez has also significantly influenced the tariff diet. The faísan is the most representative bird of the forests of this part of the Tagus valley, so when eating in Aranjuez find many restaurants that offer this dish, as well as quails, partridges or the famous rabbit with garlic.
