Meson de Candido

The famous restaurant underneath the aqueduct in Segovia.

From our guidebook:
For sheer atmosphere and the best roast suckling pig (cochinillo asado) in a country that prides itself on roast suckling pig, this 100-year-old eatery is the place. In what may be the most beautiful city in Spain, many generations of the gregarious Candido family have entertained everyone from Hemingway to Salvador Dali. Their restaurant has become a culinary pilgrimage for royalty, politicians, bullfighters and artists... The cochinillo is rivaled only by the roast baby lamb (cordero adado), another exquisitely prepared regional delicacy.

The food was delicious, fattening and delicious again!
