Calle Mayor

Castilla-La Mancha


Calle Mayor is a standout meal stop between the cathedral and castle. Be sure to order the simple starter of tomatoes, which are grown in the owner's backyard. Mains here tend to be traditional with local roasted meats, such as goat and lamb, as well as more elaborate creations like artichokes stuffed with prawns.

Unlike most restaurants in Spain, IVA is not included in the prices.
