Iron-rich menus

Around fifteen chefs in Ordino offer different “Iron rich” menus complementing Iron Route tourism. Iron has many properties but its benefits on the repertory system stand out. It is also used to activate B-group vitamins, stimulate the immune system and physical strength, and help form muscle proteins, red blood cells and healthy bones.
