Restaurante el Mirador, Conde de Guadalhorce reservoir
The setting for this restaurant “El Mirador” is, quite frankly, spectacular. Right beside the lake but elevated to give panoramic views of the Guadalhorce reservoir and surrounding countryside. This restaurant is easy to find set above the road tunnel on the A444 just 3 kilometres from the Guadalhorce dam.
It’s also very convenient if you are going up the mirador- viewpoint or walking the Gaitanejo footpath that starts very close to this restaurant.
Food here is of quite a high quality, the staff are very friendly and prices are reasonable. An excellent selection of salads, seafood and meat dishes. All in all another great place to eat in the area around El Chorro and the Guadalhorce lakes…
I’ve been living in this lovely area of Western Andalucia for the last 20 years or so and dedicate most of my time to the running of English language tourist information websites for the towns of Cádiz, Ronda, Grazalema, the famous or infamous Caminito del Rey, and also Wildside Holidays, which promotes sustainable and eco-friendly businesses running wildlife and walking holidays in Spain.
Oh dear, what can I say about this place… Located right on the train station at El Chorro this bar serves up some fairly standard dishes. It’s OK for a beer whilst you are waiting for the train but it’s not high on my list for a place to eat in the El Chorro area. Let’s hope that when the interpretation centre for the Caminito del Rey opens in the near future in the train station building this place can move into the 21st century. Sorry I don’t like giving bad reviews but this time I have to give it a below average score on service, cleanliness and general food quality.
