For long periods, urban areas such as [[Albalitor]], [[Agrila]], and [[Montia]] welcomed mostly migrants from [[Caphiria]]. Nevertheless, there was also a migratory flow of [[Kiravian]], [[Burgundian]], and Grajnidar immigrants arriving in Pelaxia. Among the countless changes this melting pot brought was the enrichment of the culinary art. Dishes such as pasta, pizza, ([[stew]]s), [[croqueta]]s ([[fritter]])s, [[sauce]]s, [[embutido]]s ([[sausage]]s), and chicken and meat courses brought a wider scope of options to daily menus. Furthermore, the bread-making, dessert, pastry, and dairy industries have achieved considerable development in this region.

This region is the most suitable to taste [[empanada]]s, particularly those stuffed with meat and offering different types of tempting varieties such as the ''empanada monteña'', filled with potatoes and lamb, or empanadas made with cheese. Empanadas are individual sized and closed savoury pastries which may be fried or baked in the oven and are generally eaten with the hands.
