Egaña Oriza (Seville; tel. 95-422-72-11): In a restored mansion near the Murillo Gardens, Seville's best and most fashionable restaurant serves a savory mix of Basque and international specialties.

Bodegas Campos (Córdoba; tel. 95-749-75-00): Not particularly elegant or grand, this restaurant still serves the best Spanish and Andalusian food in Córdoba. Going strong since 1908, Bodegas Campos uses market-fresh ingredients to concoct the tastiest food in town.
Los Santanderinos (Granada; tel. 95-812-83-35): In the newer part of Granada, this wonderful dining choice serves a fine mixture of Spanish and Andalusian dishes within the city proper. Chef Jesús Diego Díaz is a media darling of the Spanish gastronomic press, and his tapas are among the tastiest in Granada.
La Meridiana (Marbella; tel. 95-277-61-90): Sophisticated and fashionable, this swank restaurant in a romantic setting with a garden terrace pleases the most discerning palates of the Costa del Sol.

All those high-end favorites -- foie gras, Beluga caviar, freshly caught lobster -- are routinely dished up here.
Tragabuches (Ronda; tel. 95-219-02-91): High in the mountains, Daniel García's impeccably sharp and refined restaurant turns out modern Spanish and Andalusian cuisine with sublime flavors from his inventive menu.
