Hotel Río Piedra Restaurant

The house cooking in the village

The restaurant at the Hotel Río Piedra, in the centre of Nuévalos, beside the La Tranquera reservoir, blends traditional cooking with local produce and the odd new idea. The menu changes several times a year to follow the seasons. The cellar is in an old 18th-century underground wine cellar, with wines from the area, above all Garnacha from the Calatayud DOP, and from the rest of Spain.
