Castilla y León Railway Stew Competition Food and drink · Guardo, Alto Carrión, Palencia Image of Guardo, not of the place itself. Every October Guardo hosts a competition of railway stews that brings together more than a hundred cooks from the region and revives the spoon dishes that were prepared around the La Robla coal train and fed its gangs, a contest that has rescued almost lost recipes of working-class cooking.
