Almanzora Valley · Almería
Home of the «fritá»: peppers and tomatoes now prepared by small local businesses, at the foot of the Filabres.
Since 1985, Desuflí has been making the Almanzora’s traditional preserves by hand in Suflí. They already reach Europe and Korea, and this year they are dreaming of the United States.
Almanzora Valley · Almería
Suflí, with 224 inhabitants (INE, 2025), lies in the Upper Almanzora, on the northern slope of the Sierra de los Filabres. Its name, of Arabic origin, is thought to mean «those below», because the village sits lower than its neighbours.
It is famous for the fritá de Suflí, a slow-cooked mix of peppers and tomatoes once made at home and now produced by small local businesses, which mostly employ women. The village was linked to alabaster mining until the 1970s, and today olive and almond groves predominate. The church of San Roque dates from the mid-16th century.
It celebrates the Virgen de la Asunción and San Roque, its patron saint, on 15 and 16 August. On 2 February, for Candlemas, residents throw «roses» (popcorn) to the Virgin from their balconies.
