Visiting from Miami. Super nice folks. Good local food and interesting shopping; bought a few items for friends home. Rafa, the owner, is an interesting character.

We stopped here on the drive from Benalmádena to Cuenca. The meal we had was absolutely fabulous. Since this is rural Spain though, the staff didn't speak English but they were still friendly and welcoming. There was still a good 4G signal though, so Google Translate came to the rescue a couple of times.
