La Fragua Restaurant

With our cuisine, we help maintain our roots and traditions. Our cuisine is based on the typical Alpujarra cuisine and Mediterranean cuisine, made with the care and affection that its tradition and its Moorish roots deserve.

LA FRAGUA RESTAURANT

The freshest Mediterranean flavours and the local highest-quality ingredients turned into traditional food.

La Fragua Restaurant is a food experience not to be missed. Our menu is best described as traditional cuisine from La Alpujarra, which, mixed with local Mediterranean ingredients offers an incredible feeling that will make you come back again.  That is how we work.

We also offer hand-cut local natural air-cured ham mixing it with the best local wine from La Contraviesa.

Eating at the restaurant is a wonderfully elegant experience where guests can enjoy the panoramic views of the mountain landscape, the valley, and the river coming down from the highest peaks in the Iberian Peninsula.
