Open every day, no bookings. A 1924 inn at the top of the pass Venta Marcelino stands on the Los Cotos pass, at 1,830 metres, inside the Sierra de Guadarrama National Park, next to the Peñalara car park and a couple of kilometres from Valdesquí. It has been open since 1924. It has two menus: the café menu, with breakfasts and sandwiches for anyone heading into the mountains early, and the restaurant menu, for a proper sit-down meal. Its website has webcams and a weather station for the pass, handy for checking the snow before you leave home. What to order Traditional Castilian cooking with fresh produce. Every day they stew judiones beans from La Granja with chorizo, and tripe Madrid-style. For meat, there is veal T-bone steak and suckling lamb chops; from the river, trout, either pickled or fried, with ham. The desserts are homemade: flan, rice pudding, custard and fried milk. The website links to the menus and the allergen information; check prices there. How it works It opens every day of the year, but it does not take bookings: tables are served in order of arrival. On a snowy Sunday the dining room fills up at lunchtime; if you are coming down from skiing or from Peñalara, eat a little earlier or wait until later. The website does not publish opening hours: if you are going out of season or midweek, call 91 852 19 24 or write to ven@ventamarcelino.com.
