Mesón Restaurante La Almagra — Restaurant in Mula

This place was amazing, we stored here for a quick bite to eat on the way back from Gebas and it turned out to be done of the best tapas we've had in Spain.

The octopus was the most tender I've ever had, the squid was cooked beautifully, the stuffed mushrooms and potatoes were really tasty and the little kebab things were something special!

The service was also very good with friendly waiters they seemed to speak some English but we just pointed to the tapas we wanted anyway.

We parked just a little up the road just off the main road where there's a small lookout to look at the little river then walked less than 10 mins to the restaurant.

Once we paid the very cheap price (30€ for 6 sharing tapas dishes, 2 beers and a water, easily enough for 3 people) the have us a complimentary local cider to taste.

There was plenty of space to eat either indoors or outdoors in the sun or shade. We sat on a little area out the back and around a corner covered by trees. So definitely be...

Lovely place and wonderful owner, so welcoming and friendly. Sadly we couldn't eat as we arrived Monday afternoon and the restaurant was closed that night and all day Tuesday but we had coffees, amazed that a place in almost the middle of nowhere had soya milk. He kindly gave me some lemons and oranges as I'd mentioned I had a painful throat, so thoughtful and much appreciated. We had a couple of drinks at the bar before he closed. Very happy for us to stay in the carpark next to the restaurant in our campervan, even said he would leave the toilet doors open for us to use at night - the toilets were spotless and we had a very peaceful night. We were visiting the area to take a bath at Banos el pozo, 5...

Pongo esta valoración por la experiencia que viví cuando fui. Aunque debo decir que creo que se trata de algo puntual y es muy posible que de normal, el servicio sea mucho mejor. Fuimos 4 personas a comer una paella (la dejamos encargada 2 días antes). Llegamos a las hora que habíamos reservado. Nos sentamos y nos tomaron nota de las bebidas y, al rato, de las tapas antes de la paella (he de decir que nada más llegar avisamos que éramos los de la paella). Las tapas tardaron muchísimo en salir (y eso que algunas eran cosas que no había que cocinar, era de montar en el plato y ya) y algunas salieron mal (número incorrecto de unidades). Pero lo que más nos desesperó fue que la paella tardó 1 hora y media en salir desde la hora que reservamos (el restaurante no estaba lleno, no había mucha gente y había varios camareros). Los camareros nos dijeron que había habido un problema en cocina y que por eso la tardanza, pero es que luego para el café también nos los trajeron dos veces mal y al final un comensal prefirió quedarse sin el café. Sí es verdad que la comida estaba muy buena y que los camareros fueron simpáticos y amables. Aunque tuve esta experiencia, seguramente les daré otra oportunidad porque considero que mi problema pudo ser algo...
