Rincon de Miguels, Niguelas (1,6km walk)
This spot is perfect for drinks, tapas, and a menu that caters to various tastes. The Mushroom Platter is my go-to.
While it gets lively—especially on weekends—it's an incredible place to soak up the afternoon sun and take in breathtaking sunsets.
The tapas are a treat any day of the week but truly shine on weekends, offering an unforgettable dining experience.
