The exquisite Candela Restaurante, run by the extremely friendly and welcoming Marie Pepa, is a celebration of high-class Andalucian cuisine. Dedicated to her grandparents, from whom she is sure she inherited her love of cooking, the Candela is beautifully decorated and furnished, with a perfect combination of old-fashioned luxury and contemporary charm. The sumptuous interior, which is cosy and warm in winter and has huge windows which are opened out on hot summer nights, is ideally complemented by a delightful terrace, very tempting for lunches, either in the cooling shade of an umbrella or the warming sunshine, and just right for romantic evenings overlooking the magically lit Castillo Arabe or Arab Castle.
Marie Pepa is passionate about food, although her greatest satisfaction comes from seeing others enjoy it. "The food I serve is homecooked," she says, " it is important that people enjoy it. If the plates come back to the kitchen completely empty," she says, "then I am happy."
Wine is another passion, an extensive collection of bottles attractively stored in their own climatically controlled room.
The standard of service is high and the prices very reasonable. Local residents visit the Candela often, an excellent recommendation for visitors to the town, who seldom leave the restaurant without broad smiles of satisfaction and a determination to return.

 

El restaurante exquisito, Candela, dirigido por la muy amable y hospitalaria Marie Pepa, es una celebracción de la cocina Andaluza de alta categoría. Dedicado a sus abuelos, de los que esta segura que heredó su amor de la cocina, el Restaurante Candela esta decorado buenissimo, con una combinación del lujo anticuado y del encanto contemporáneo. El interior suntuoso, que esta acogedor y caliente durante el invierno y tiene las ventanas grandes, que estan abiertas durante las noches calorosas en verano, esta complementado por una terraza encantadora, muy tentador para la comida, o en la sombra refrescante o el sol caliente y también por las noches romanticas, dando a las luces mágicas del Castilo Arabe. Marie Pepa esta apasionada sobre la cocina, aún su satisfacción más grande es ver otras personas disfrutandola. "La comida aqui es casera," dice, "es importante que la gente le guste. Si los platos vuelvan a la cocina completemente vaciós," dice, "estoy feliz."
El vino es otra pasión, una colección amplia de las botellas guardada en una bodega que esta controlada climatizada.
El nivel del servicio es muy alta y los precios muy razonables. La gente local visita el Restaurante Candela con frecuencia, una recomendación excelente para las visitas al pueblo, quienes salen rara vez del restaurante sin las sonrisas amplias de la satisfacción y una determinación a volver.
