Asador Candido – Segovia – Spain

https://tipfortrips.net/wp-content/uploads/2018/09/img_6504.movNext to the Roman Aqueducts built some Two Thousand years ago , sits this amazing Restaurant , Asador Candido. Since 1884 it has been ran by the Candido Family, now by Don Alberto Candido manages it like an orchestra of amazing food , famous for their suckling pig and absolute delight. A very tasteful rustic interior design with narrow staircases leading to different levels in this house from another century. Lovely decorated stone floors, big wooden doors and tables and chairs with white table cloth give it such a cosy and yet elegant atmosphere.

I have lived in Spain for nearly 30 years and travel most of the country by land I must have done easily over Five Hundred Thousand kilometers , but this Restaurant landmark has been in my bucket list until now: September 2018. The fact that I could have this culinary experience with my Wife, my beloved Julia, made it even more spectacular. Don Alberto is a Gentleman  and took great care of us, you can tell the passion and profesional attitude of someone with total dedication to his family business.

I will include a couple of videos of the cutting of the “Cochinillo” with the Royal protocol  that has been a traditions since the 18 hundreds , pictures of famous national and international  guests of the restaurant including my dear Friend and Wimbledon Champion , Manolo Santana , a very young Sofia Loren ,  Ex President of Spain Mariano ,Rajoy , Actor  Harrison Ford , Salvador Dali , Julio Iglesias and many others .

If you are in Spain, I highly recommend to visit the beautiful Town of Segovia and make a must to experience Asador Candido .
