A garden to table experience

We discover a visit to Aranjuez that will leave you with a good taste in your mouth.

Discover the restaurants with Food from Madrid in Aranjuez.

Gastronomy is definitely one of the most beautiful (and tasty) ways to get to know a culture and share with its inhabitants. If you are one of those people who are conquered by the stomach and love to socialize around gastronomy, we discover you a plan a few kilometers away from Madrid that will allow you to be back in time for your flamenco show in one of our tablaos.

Aranjuez is a municipality of the Region of Madrid located 50 km from the capital witheasy access from the center by train, bus and car. Upon arrival, you will probably already be able to glimpse the historic meadows of the Huerta de Aranjuez which produce excellent fruits and vegetables that are consumed throughout the Region of Madrid.

Many people do not know that it is possible to take a pleasant walk or bike ride through the historic orchards of the Ribera del Tajo and enjoy a unique natural landscape. Some of them also offer guided tours that will allow you to learn about the history and richness of the lands of Aranjuez and buy seasonal products directly. Spring, especially between May and June, is a fantastic time to visit the plantations of its star product: the popular strawberries of Aranjuez, a delicacy not to be missed!

After the visit to the vegetable gardens, we suggest you to discover the historical Market of Abastos located in the heart of the historic center and standing since the 19th century. You will have the opportunity to walk through a traditional Spanish market and meet people who are genuinely passionate about their profession and who have been offering fresh products of exceptional quality for centuries.

And, after visiting the vegetable garden and the market, can you imagine what's next? That's right, tasting the products of the vega at the table of one of the best restaurants in the city. Its gastronomy, which once delighted royalty and nobility, today continues to combine tradition and innovation to continue to amaze. You will have the opportunity to taste the authentic Mediterranean diet, Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity by UNESCO, in restaurants such as: El Rana Verde, El Tomate de Aranjuez, El Corral de la Abuela, Casa Pablo and Casa José. Although if your thing is picnics and time is short, we recommend the traditional picnic areas on the banks of the Tagus River, popularly known as "gangos".

And, after this enriching gastronomic experience, you will surely be able to recognize the locally grown products that you have known firsthand in the gardens of Aranjuez in the menu of our tablaos flamencos. Don't forget to ask for seasonal products which, as you know, are the tastiest and most sustainable.
