Alacena Azul is the restaurant of the Hotel de Naturaleza Rodalquilar, at the entrance to the former mining village, in the Los Albacetes locality.

A short menu and a set menu drawn from it The 2025 menu, the one the hotel publishes, is short and uncomplicated. Among the starters, for one or to share, there are Almería tomato with garlic and bonito (€13.50), salmorejo with egg and ham (€11), grilled Almería vegetables (€13), broken eggs with ham (€15), beef carpaccio or a cheese board, and sliced Iberian ham for €20. Among the main courses fish and the grill rule: griddled salmon, cod with toasted garlic and wild asparagus or fried John Dory with vegetables, at €17; fried fish (€19) and griddled or fried squid (€20). Among meats, Iberian sirloin with boletus (€17), Iberian pluma with mustard and honey sauce (€18), entrecôte with chimichurri butter or a meat grill (€19), and a full burger at €14. Desserts cost €5 to €6.50; the caramel, tocino de cielo and walnut tart is gluten-free. Bread and service, €1.20 per person. The most practical is the set menu: a starter, a main course and a dessert chosen from the menu for €25 per person, with water, bread and service included; drinks are paid separately. The hotel also speaks of recovered dishes from Almería cooking, such as fish gachas, michirones or ajo colorao, which do not appear on the published menu: ask whether they are available that day. The wine list has its own menu. Opening hours by phone The hotel is open all year, but the website does not publish the restaurant's opening hours or closing days.

Before or after the meal The restaurant fits at the end of an afternoon in the valley: the route through the Rodalquilar gold mines ends a few minutes away, and El Playazo, with the castle of San Ramón, is down towards the sea.
