Las Cuevas
To finish our list, we present a very original restaurant located inside a cave house in San Miguel de Salinas. It has different spaces carved into the rock to enjoy a special lunch or dinner. The food is exceptional and the waiters are very friendly. we recommend it to everyone who wishes to try a different dining experience.
In the sixteenth century, people lived in these same caves where this dazzling restaurant is located due to a lack of material to build regular dwellings. And now, Robert Johansen who is in charge of the kitchen strives to retain the essence of that era both in its rich food and in the charismatic ambience that this restaurant radiates. Only six of these caves remain today and Las Cuevas Restaurante is recreating that family atmosphere for all to enjoy.
