Where to eat
On the weekends, there is no problem since everything is open. If you come during the week, the selection is pretty slim but you won’t die of hunger.

La Fragua
In my opinion, this is the best place to eat in the zone. Located in the center of the village, this small restaurant opens every day except Thursday for lunch. On weekends reservations are necessary. For large groups if pre-arranged, they will also open for dinner. There is a small bar at the entrance and, further in, a comfortable small dining room. At lunch time there is a moderately priced special luncheon menu during the week.
