Pension Restaurante Hidalgo Nº RTA,-H/JA/00467 — Restaurant in Alcaudete

Hidalgo has accommodation but we went there just to use the restaurant because it had been recommended to us by locals (always a good sign!). We had a truly excellent meal. Three of us had swordfish, and thought that it was the best that we have ever had (swordfish, if sliced too thin can dry out), two had lamb (and struggled to get through it because the serving was so big, even though they said that it was really tender and juicy), whilst one had pork and, again, was highly complimentary.

Sometimes you just land on your feet, and this is how we felt after finding Hidalgo Pension in Alcaudete. There isn't a lot of English spoken here, but the proprietor was more than willing to help us out. The whole place is spotlessly tiled with marble. Room was reasonable size with a big bathroom. There is a good bar/restaurant, reasonably priced, and a patio out front, and the biggest plus - free parking! This little hotel is frequented by traveling business people, so this is the real deal, no tourists here. Double room $40E, generous meal and wine servings, plus they sell some olive oil products in the...
