What Do People Eat During San Fermín?
In Navarra, the month of July is filled with excitement, music, tradition… and of course, amazing food.
At every vermouth gathering, every lunch with friends, every evening after the festivities, food brings people together. Our most cherished dishes come out to shine during San Fermín — and they’re delicious!
Here’s a taste of what we eat in Navarra’s most iconic festival.
Pochas (Fresh White Beans)
Our El Navarrico pochas are soft, buttery beans typical of northern Spain. We cook them simply, often with vegetables or a bit of chorizo, and always serve them with a few pickled green peppers for an extra tang.
Magras con Tomate – Ham with Tomato Sauce and Egg
A traditional San Fermín breakfast or brunch. This dish is full of flavor and energy: cured ham, fried eggs, and a rich homemade tomato sauce. Simple ingredients, unforgettable taste.
Pork Loin with Piquillo Peppers
Whether you’re having a late-afternoon snack or lunch with friends, this combo is always a winner. Our piquillo peppers —roasted and hand-peeled— bring out the best in any grilled meat.
Choose from whole or sliced formats. Always ready in your pantry.
Bacalao Ajoarriero – Cod with Vegetables
A rustic, hearty dish made with desalted cod and stewed vegetables. Our vegetable fritada —tomato, zucchini, onion, pepper, eggplant— is perfect as a base. Just heat, add the cod, and enjoy.
Celebrate San Fermín with Flavor
At El Navarrico, we preserve the true taste of Navarra so you can enjoy our food, our traditions, and our festivals — wherever you are.
¡Viva San Fermín! Long live good food!
