Come by either of the Parador´stwo
restaurants: 'El Convento' and 'El Bodegón'.
El Convento offers exquisite creations based on traditional cooking, with a
personal touch. We recommend the Tasting Menu and dishes prepared using quality
products from the Chinchón river valley.
El Bodegón, open weekends and holidays, offers theme-based cuisine, with two
tempting types of seasonal fare: El Cocido completo de Taba (Taba chickpea and
sausage stew served in two courses) based on an original recipe from the late
19th century, and La Cocina de la Vega, which features dishes prepared according
to traditional, age-old recipes from the Chinchón river valley."
