GASTRONOMY

Durango?s cuisine is characterized by the use of all kinds of meats as the main ingredients in such dishes as caldillo, which is made with dry meat and red chiles, and red pipian or patoles durangueños, made with white beans and pork. You can accompany your meal with a glass of wine or mezcal. Other local favorites include the famous Mennonite cheeses, pan con jalea (bread with a jelly spread) and cajeta de membrillo (quince sweets).
