The menú del día is like the secret password to Spanish existence. Whisper ‘aai-min-oe’ to the patron and you’ll be given a knowing nod and your expensive a la carte menu quickly whipped away to be replaced by a single sheet in Spanish, probably with regional terms.

The hill was later used by the Romans as a ceremonial site, and then the 1800’s saw the crowning construction of the castle.
