Tel: 868 95 07 21 or 616 48 26 19 (closed Sundays)

In this cosy friendly family restaurant your menu depends on the produce of the day in the market just across the road. The young owner is so welcoming and a super Chef. Family style cooking with several starters (various tapas) and very good hot bread followed by main course and dessert. Saturdays is rice day, so again several tapas and a paella or similar – the paella dish is served from hob to table with as many forks as needed to share. A taste of local food and reasonably priced.

(This restaurant is very near the El Valle National Park ( which has many walking trails) and the small Hermitage church of San Antonio el Pobre ( San Antonio the poor) which has a video showing of how hermits lived a solitary life in the caves nearby - they now have an English translation.

Also there is a very nice indoor food market just opposite selling fruit, fish, meat and vegetable (closes at 2pm).

For details of El Valle National Park and directions see Days out in the area.
