Restaurante "El Peñón"

The "El Peñón" Restaurant had been recommended by a few of our friends so without needing a lot of encouragement we set off this evening to take a look.

Located just outside the village of Algámitas, we arrived at about 7pm to be told that dinner was not served until nine. Typical of us - we should know better by now but it's still difficult to get into the "eat late" culture, even after a year here.

So we went outside to the balcony and sat down to enjoy the warm evening and the spectacular views east towards Teba and north toward Osuna and beyond.

Looking towards Teba.

We went into the restaurant at 8.45pm after having studied the menu on and off for the last two hours - that steak was getting juicier with every passing minute.

We were the first to sit down but shortly afterwards the peace was shattered as we were joined by about thirty or forty children and teenagers.

The restaurant is part of a larger complex involving camping and chalets so we assumed that they were on a summer camp type thing.

Believe me, the steak tasted a lot better than the quality of this picture !!. Anne had lamb chops which were equally delicious.

And the ice creams weren't bad either.

If you are ever in the area we can highly recommend a visit both for the fabulous food and the spectacular location.
