Those if everyone will roast the so-called suckling lamb, which is nothing more than suckling lamb, fed only with the mother’s milk of the ewe for the first 15 days of life, before slaughter, which gives the meat a special full texture flavor and nutritionally very healthy.
The motto of these conferences is “Aranda tastes like … suckling pig and wine”, and it seeks to promote the local hospitality activity, as well as the tourism of the town, so fashionable in these times under the protection of the wineries.
