A continental breakfast is served daily and the restaurant has a charming terrace and beautiful dining room. The food is traditional Spanish cuisine adn the quality very high. The roasted lamb being one of the highlights plus soups, special salads and puddings and sweets. The wine list is extensive but In my humble opinion it’s always best to ask for a local wine and avoid the usual “Rioja” There is also a bar with talkative and friendly waiters and several comfortable lounge areas including a reading room with a fireplace.

The Boutique hotel la Posada del Conde is highly recommended by Ronda Today and the author of this article (Clive) who has stayed in this hotel on various occasions.
