Alicante - Darsena - talk about rice dishes. This is a bustling restaurant right on the harbor.
Pick from 50 different rice dishes served at your table in paella pans. Address: Paseo del Puerto
|
Cuenca - Meson Casa Colgadas - This is a classic hanging house that Cuenca is known for, often seen
in pictures. Dine high above the gorge and try some regional cuisine. Good food, views and a lasting experience. Address: just across the bridge, first place on the left! Calle Canonigos. |
Chinchon - Meson Cuevas del Vino - may be our favorite restaurant. Incredible character. Bar with
wood fired oven and walls lined with huge earthen wine jugs. You sit in a former anise distillery and winery with the press dominating the room. Hams curing by the fireplace ceiling. Wine in full size pig wineskins, served in simple a caraffe. Lamb being butchered in the kitchen. A variety of dishes to choose from. This is a great town and this Castilian restaurant is worth finding. Address: Benito Hortelano 13 |
Toledo - Hostal del Cardenal - A favorite place to stay. What character and history! Former summer
residence and gardens of the Cardinal inside city walls. They have a great restaurant adjacent to the small hotel. Address: Paseo de Recaredo 24 |
Segovia -Meson de Candido - Dine next to a roman aquaduct. This is a classic restaurant known for
roast lanb and suckling pig, so tender you can cut it with a dinner plate, and they do! Restaurant on upper floors in this great building. Address: Plaza de azoguejo 5 |
