25 April : Menu del Dia €10


Hotel Rural los Caños de la Alcaiceria

appetiser
delicately chopped tomato, cucumber and onion salad tossed in vinaigrette served with fresh bread

starter
thick soup flavoured with saffron with chunks of lamb that melted in the mouth and perfectly cooked potato just on the verge of falling apart.

main
fresh fillets of hake pan fried in the lightest of batter with golden chips

dessert
home made flan that made me feel a bit tearful because it was so delicious.

drinks
a glass of chilled beer to start and a small cup of strong coffee to finish.

We felt quite embarrassed when we got the bill - 20 Euros for 2 seemed far, far too little for such a feast but we thanked the owner and promised to return. Outside we waited for a large flock of goats to cross the road, their bells rattling and the goatherd flicking his stick to encourage stragglers though the gate and then we set off for the road to Granada.

  1. must have been around two hundred goats on the move. No mention of any goat on the menu del dia fortunately. Stonking deal - tipped generously but still felt undercooked so to speak.

    Hasta la vista for sure

    1. Trust me - if you had eaten this for breakfast you would have had to go back to bed to recover.
