The table at Finca Los Olivos
The Eliá is the restaurant of the Hotel & Spa Eliá, a four-star hotel inside Finca Los Olivos, beside the Júcar and a few minutes' walk from the old town of Alcalá. Although it is part of the hotel, lunches, dinners and the cocktail bar are open to non-guests; only the buffet breakfast is reserved for guests. It is the table to come to when the meal is the plan for the afternoon and not a formality between one cave and the next.
There is a large indoor dining room and two outdoor terraces with views of the village hanging from the rock and the mountains. In good weather, ask for a place outside when you book.
What comes out of the kitchen
The menu crosses two lines: the traditional dishes of Alcalá del Júcar and Castilla-La Mancha, and elaborate tapas and signature dishes. It is organised into starters and salads, rice dishes, meats, fish and seafood, and changes with the season, so what you ate in spring may not be there in autumn. The hotel publishes the menu online, but not the prices on its restaurant page; if you want to know how much you will spend, ask when you book.
The wines lean on La Manchuela, with those of Señorío del Júcar and their Cueva Llana selection, a winery from the area. After dinner, the cocktail bar stays open for outside guests too.
Booking and getting there
Book on 967 11 01 90, by WhatsApp on 610 492 728 or at reception if you are already at the hotel. The website does not publish the restaurant's opening days or hours, so confirm that it is serving on the day you go, especially on weekdays out of season.
You drive to the estate, which has parking; from there, the bridge and the old town are a few minutes on foot, so you can leave the car and walk down to see the village before or after.
What to combine it with
If you are sleeping here, the Hotel & Spa Eliá is in the same building, with its spa. To whet your appetite, the walk round the old town and the bridge starts practically at the door, and from the estate's landing stage you can do the canoe trips on the Júcar.
What to order: A rice dish for the table or a dish of Alcalá from the seasonal menu, with a Manchuela wine from Señorío del Júcar
