Image of Hellín, not of the place itself.

The cuisine of Hellín (Albacete), of Murcian roots, has rice with rabbit and snails as its signature dishes, alongside migas made from bread or wheat flour, andrajos, wheat stew and aguamiel, made from pumpkin and honey or sugar diluted in water and cooked. Notable is the production of peladillas, turrones and sweets, especially those of La Elisa, closely tied to the Holy Week processions, in which the nazarenos hand out sweets to children. The surrounding countryside supplies vineyards, almond trees and stone fruit such as peaches and apricots, as well as the artisanal Patatas Rodas fried potatoes and empanadillas filled with potato, tuna, tomato and egg. Also typical are the Holy Week mojete and tortas with ham and sardine.
