Restaurante El Candil is a pleasure to dine in. This family-owned and -run restaurant has occupied the same red painted brick corner near the Mercado Central since 1940. The jolly owner, Mario Estevez Huerta, has since relinquished some of the responsibility for running the place to his two sons. Now he prefers to makes the rounds, greeting customers with a smile, suggesting dishes and questioning tastes. One can’t help but like the guy and feel at home in his authentically Castilian restaurant. He’ll want you to try the house’s special empanadas with salchíchon sausage and jamón, and probably recommend the cochinillo asado (suckling pig) or lechazo (young lamb), which he’ll point out in a glass case near the door. During the restaurant’s annual Jornadas Vinícolas you can sample wines representing every region in Spain.El Candil’s bar is loaded with tapas if a full meal isn’t in the cards for the night.
