This is probably the best well known restaurant of the whole of Spain. Kings, Princesses, Ministers, Franco, and even our present nuisance President Zapatero have more than once had dinner in this fabulous restaurant where they still observe the old Castilian feudal traditions, like cutting the sucking pig with a plate that immediately is thrown to the floor to be broken with much noise in one thousand pieces. The gastronomy in Castilla and Leon is very consistent; try the Sopa Castellana and sweets made by the nouns of the monasteries nearby Segovia. All Castilian dishes have to be accompanied by a superb Rioja, or Ribera del Duero, red wine. The restaurant building consists in an enchanting old house just across the world famous Roman Aqueduct (UNESCO Patrimony of Humandkind).
