A wine bar on the main square
El Refugio is on Plaza de la Constitución, the main square of Guadix, about five minutes' walk from the cathedral. It is a small restaurant, with few tables inside and a terrace on the square itself. The kitchen is open to the dining room and is run by its chef and manager, Sonia Sánchez.
What to order
The house presents itself as a vinoteca: it has wines from the Guadix region and from appellations across Spain, and many can be had by the glass. The other speciality is cheese. The menu brings together more than 30, from here and elsewhere, and the idea is to try local cheeses with wines from the region. The cooking mixes traditional and modern recipes, with meats, cheeses, oil, bread, fruit and vegetables from the area, and the menu has dishes for vegans and vegetarians and gluten-free and lactose-free options.
It is a place for an unhurried dinner after the cathedral or the walk through the cave quarter. It belongs to the Sabor Granada brand and is a collaborating business of the Granada Geopark.
