Catalog of traditional spanish varieties

[Seven Bends]

When I was researching the tomato variety "Moruno de San Pablo" (received from MMMM), I ran across this publication from Centro Zahoz listing "traditional" varieties of tomatoes and other vegetables from the Las Sierras de Béjar y Francia Biosphere Reserve area of Spain (eastern Iberian peninsula).

This is just a descriptive catalog, not a way to buy seeds.

I don't read Spanish very well, so I haven't worked my way through much of the text yet. I'm wondering what exactly they mean by "traditional," because the booklet includes Green Zebra and Black Cherry as traditional varieties, and I think there are others that a direct translation from Spanish to English will reveal as common varieties from elsewhere in the world.

Regardless, the booklet includes other tomato varieties that really do seem to be traditional Spanish tomatoes, so I thought it might be of interest to some people here. Peppers, eggplant and various other vegetables as well. This version is from 2013. Other years are available on issuu.com, but I don't have an account there and didn't want to set one up.

A word of caution -- don't bother going to centrozahoz.org, because that seems to have turned into a cryptocurrency website.

What, on the internet isn't a crypto site, or at least doesn't have pop-ups for it?

Wish I had clicked on one of those pop-ups ten years ago. Now they're just taunting me.

Thanks for posting that. Good for some info on some peppers I have too!

I posted this link in another thread, but it also lists Spanish tomato varieties.

I use this a lot for sites in foreign languages:
