Home-cooked, every time
Food at La Mezquita is not catered, not packaged, and not an afterthought. Every meal is prepared fresh in our kitchen using local produce from the Alicante region — seasonal vegetables, legumes, whole grains, and Mediterranean herbs and spices.
We eat together. Meals are a shared moment in the retreat, part of the rhythm of the days. After ceremony, after a morning of yoga, after a mountain walk — coming to the table together is part of how a group becomes a community. Good food, eaten in good company, is its own kind of medicine.
Our default cooking is plant-based: primarily vegan and vegetarian, inspired by Mediterranean traditions. Hearty, nourishing, and genuinely delicious. The kind of food that makes you feel looked after.
We eat what the land here offers. Simple food, prepared with attention, shared at a table that has held a lot of stories.
