A stone's throw from Plaza Mayor, this restaurant is a must for culinary tourists, as it's considered to be the oldest in the world. It opened in 1725 and it has a Guinness Book of World Records title to prove its claim displayed in the window. The menu specializes in traditional Castilian dishes like Roast Suckling Pig and Lamb that are best accompanied by strong red wine. The equally 'historic' waiters can help you choose the most appropriate variety. The interior of solid wooden roof beams, exposed brickwork, and soft lighting helps create the atmosphere of an 18th-century tavern.

booking is advisable.
