Image of Calatayud, not of the place itself.

Fast-day stew with centuries of roots in the city, made with dried conger eel brought from the coast and rehydrated, chickpeas and potato. Conger eel a la bilbilitana is one of the marks of the local cooking and recalls the old trade in salted fish inland.
