El Corral del Castaño
(Building of the XVIII century)
Once
upon a time in a lost paradise called
La
Alpujarra, the legend tells that time stood still
featuring
the passion lived between a young
Christian
and a beautiful Moorish girl.
Legend
talks; the only witnesses of their love
have
been a chestnut tree, still standing and
a
corral, now disappeared bringing forth...
"El
Corral del Castaño"
|
This
essence of passion and love was transformed into culinary art, where
traditional cooking risen from a mixture of aromas and flavors converts a
visit to this place into a journey to the past, where a long forgotten
passion is reborn.

culinary essence
of "La Alpujarra", which converts it into a magic and
privileged place.
To

presented with tasteful "Tapas".
- Tapas with cheese and ham, both from traditional local production,
which are an example to find back to the since always good taste of the
well done.
- Tapas from the "new cuisine", which make your five
senses enjoy those little culinary artworks.
- Our Tapas are, of course, accompanied by homemade bread and the best
"virgin extra" olive oil to caress even the most pretentious
palate.
After
having taken the aperitif in the bodega you should enter the
restaurant, arriving the dining room with it's simple but majestic
architecture, that show the manorial Alpujarra houses of the XVIII
century.
In
this part of the restaurant you can enjoy the genuine high quality
cuisine
of the owner with it's typical traditional Mediterranean taste and
flavors.
The
elaboration of our courses is the result of our daily work and effort,
where the only secret is: All our dishes are carefully prepared by slow
cooking with products
of the best quality in traditional homemade style.
With
this combination of quality and a well done professional work, we
achieved
that our restaurant converted into a great exponent of La Alpujarra's
kitchen range.
Not to
forget the great variety of wines to go with those rich courses. Wines
from such famous vineyards like; La Rioja, Ritxora del Duero,
Prioratos, etc...
To
finish such a dinner or lunch, there is nothing better than to try our
variety of homemade desserts, prepared by using antique recipes of almost
forgotten times.
We
