"I would encourage any admirer of Federico Lorca to come and visit his family homes, both now museums, in Fuente Vaqueros and Valderrubio. They are both situated a short drive west of the city of Granada which houses the most famous and accessible of the Lorca properties. Both museums are well worth a visit and both shut at lunchtime, around 2:00, which brings me to the restaurant. The restaurant is situated on the main road about half way between Fuente Vaqueros and Valderrubio. It is a proper asador specialising in roast meat. It is not a particularly fancy establishment and its main business comes from the local agricultural workers. If you go inside you will see the large spit used to roast the meat. There is a shaded outside area and on a hot day this is the obvious place to eat. Well, my wife and I have eaten here on three separate occasions and always left happy. It seems that a pig is roasted and chopped up into various bits and depending on what time you arrive, and the taste of the first to arrive, will determine what choice you have. I had a delicious rack of ribs the first time but they were off the menu when I arrived late the second and third time we came. There are other tasty rustic options such as rabbit in garlic oil as well as morcilla, chorizo etc. You can of course stop here for a drink and snack and although I mention the Lorca connection It's not much of a detour for those travelling to Granada from Malaga or Seville via the A92. It's great country food and wine at very affordable prices. Highly recommended."
