El Molino
On the banks of the Alardos gorge, restoring a mill that exudes pure authenticity, with stone walls, this establishment is a tribute to peace and quiet. There is a good bar area at the entrance (with a fireplace and curious-looking tables that reuse old millstones) as well as a simple dining room, both spaces with a warm rustic feel. What’s on offer? A bistro-style menu (starter and main course only) as well as a surprise tasting menu with clear traditional foundations and a modern touch, and a commitment to fresh vegetables from the area. Try the natural wines from small producers!

El Molino in El Alamo offers contemporary Castilian cuisine, primarily praised for its high-quality meats like steaks and lamb, as well as seafood such as shrimp and scallops. Dishes are generally well-presented, with desserts also receiving positive feedback. Service is frequently described as professional and attentive. However, inconsistencies exist; some guests report slow pacing during meals and a recent decline in food quality. Negative experiences include rigid billing policies, rude staff behavior, and instances of stale desserts. While the core culinary offering remains strong for meat lovers, the overall experience can vary significantly depending on the specific visit and staff interaction.
Suitable for diners seeking high-quality meat dishes who can tolerate inconsistent service.
