The dining room in the old 16th-century San José monastery offers beautifully prepared Spanish food that is anything but austere. Sit under a wood-beamed ceiling, overlooked by oil paintings of severe-looking nobility and indulge in venison meatballs or sardines with roast peppers and eggplant. Abiding by monastic tradition, most of the vegetables are grown here. Reservations are essential.
