Glazed dining room facing the sierra in Hoyos del Espino, with updated traditional cooking, recommended by the Michelin Guide; open at lunchtime from Thursday to Sunday.

La Mira de Gredos is the restaurant of the hostal of the same name, on the AV-941 road, on the way out of Hoyos del Espino towards El Barco de Ávila. It occupies the first floor, in a large room with big windows onto the sierra. In the kitchen is César Hinojal, who was a finalist in the Cocinero del Año competition in 2005 and whose restaurant is recommended by the Michelin Guide in its 2026 edition. The cooking is the traditional food of Ávila and Gredos, with modern touches.
The sierra classics
The dishes almost everyone orders are the patatas revolconas with La Vera paprika and torreznillos (€13) and the stew of white Barco beans with its sacramentos, the cured meats from the pot, which won a gold medal at a gastronomic competition. There are stews such as Iberian cheeks in Pedro Ximénez or tripe, snout and trotter with a spicy kick (€22), and eggs with Iberian ham and chips.
Grilled Ávila veal
The meat is Ávila veal: entrecôte, tenderloin or sliced high loin for two (€45), always with potatoes and peppers. From the oven, suckling pig confit at low temperature with crackling skin. To start, acorn-fed Iberian cured meats from the sierra (€26), raw-milk sheep's cheese (€15), León black pudding ravioli (€17) or Iberian tenderloin carpaccio (€21). For fish, cod pil-pil with confit tomato and pig's ear (€29). Desserts such as reineta apple puff pastry or rice pudding with caramelised pine nuts.
€90 tasting menu
The special-occasion menu has three starters, a fish, a meat and two desserts, with sparkling, white, red and sweet wines: €90 per person. It is served to the whole table and by reservation only.
