The Goulash Road in Hungary

Stretching for about a thousand kilometers east of Budapest, the Goulash Road or, as the Hungarians say, Gulyas, is the tasty and hearty stew of the puszta herders, which in the West is improperly defined as a simple meat stew.

The meat, naturally, is there, but it is cut into very small pieces and boiled together with paprika and vegetables, until a thick and hearty soup is obtained, useful to overcome the harsh temperatures of the Hungarian plain winters.

Along the Gulyas Road, there are towns and villages of historical and cultural interest.

Like Kecskemet, the largest city of the puszta, whose main square is an open-air monument, entirely dedicated to the Balkan art nouveau style. Or Debrecen, once the country’s largest livestock market, and today the second city of Hungary by population.

Or Szeged, a university and intellectual city, called the little Budapest, with a historic center full of buildings, fountains, and monuments, which at sunset create a magical walk among the lit street lamps.
