Top choice in Castilla-La Mancha
Across from the windmills, Las Musas is hands-down the best restaurant in town, and one of the top dining spots in the region. Painstakingly prepared dishes of high-quality Manchegan ingredients, a first-rate wine list and exceptional service make for a surprising find in small-town Campo de Criptana.
The elegant two-level space is adorned with oversized works of art and offers memorable views over the countryside. The weekday lunch menu is excellent value at €15.
