La Fogoneta Culibar

A short stroll from the square introduces you to this cozy little place, run by a happy, hands-on, professional couple. The dining room is compact, with few decorative distractions, yet the welcome is warm, the music unobtrusive, and you’ve come here to eat. Select from the menu, which offers seven or eight starters and the same number of mains. Three courses and wine will scarcely dent your wallet. Don’t expect anything fancy, just honest quality, and you won’t be disappointed. In the evenings, they add a tapas selection, but the real bargain is the set menu, which might offer traditional migas de pastor (shepherd’s breadcrumbs, much tastier than its constituent ingredients of ham and stale bread might suggest!), or black pudding from Burgos.
