Casa Alfonso

Casa Alfonso is the restaurant of the Hostal Pampaneira, at Avenida de La Alpujarra, 1, at the entrance to Pampaneira, the first of the three villages of the Poqueira gorge. The family keeps the name because it was one of the first tourist restaurants in the Alpujarra, known as such for more than eighty years, and many visitors still look for it by that name. Several generations have worked in the kitchen, which remains home-style.

From the house garden and hens

The cooking is traditional Alpujarran, made with its own produce: fruit and vegetables from its organic garden and eggs from its hens. The dish that shows it best is the Alpujarran platter (plato alpujarreño), which here is made with potatoes from the garden, eggs from the house and green peppers from its own cultivation, alongside local cured meats. There are classic stews, such as the gitanilla or chickpea stew, gazpacho and salmorejo in season, portions of Alpujarra cheese and ham, and a board with all the traditional cured meats of the district.

The other speciality is grilled meats; the ox loin is one of the most requested dishes. For eating without spending much, there is an inexpensive set menu. Everything is accompanied by house wine.

Tapas on the promenade terrace

Casa Alfonso is famous for its Alpujarran tapas. The hostal has a terrace on Pampaneira's main promenade where you can have tapas with the home-made wine or eat à la carte.

Before going up to Bubión

From here, in the upper part of the village, starts the Poqueira villages trail, which climbs to Bubión and Capileira and returns by the river: you can eat before setting out or on your return. To see the village, see the sheet on Pampaneira. If you stay overnight, the Hostal Pampaneira is above the restaurant.
