Pesquisa De Restaurantes

But you might not have this chance once you taste José Vicente's dishes in Aracena, just a fascinating 10 km drive along the valley. This small and intimate restaurant has a menu but we suggest letting José have full reign and one of his surprises made from the freshest seasonal ingredients that will leave your taste buds reeling.

Besides the fabulous ham try the Salmorejo (cold tomato soup)  pesquisa de restaurants with slices of tuna sautéed in Jabugo lard. José Vicente cooks with everything local nature provides. In autumn and spring, his wild mushroom dishes accompanied by scrambled eggs with wild asparagus are not to be missed. It is the combination of tastes of this simple cuisine that will delight the most knowledgeable gourmet.

Back on the terrace of your cottage at the Molino Rio Alájar the fragrance of the Andalusia night and the untouched nature will make you forget all worldly things that might have bothered you at home. On colder winter nights a fireplace and heated floor will welcome you inside the cosy cottages.

You might want to spend the next day at the pool or perhaps take a 1 ½ hour hike from Alájar to Linares de la Sierra. A small mountain creek there will refresh you on hot summer days.
