Ruta del Mulhacén

Ruta del Mulhacén Restaurant, in Pampaneira, serves traditional Alpujarra cuisine to recreate the authentic flavours of yesteryear, as well as dishes prepared using local organic, seasonal produce in a superb example of the culinary arts of La Alpujarra region. Its menu reflects a family tradition passed down by grandma Marina to her daughter Angelina Martín, who now runs the restaurant: ingredients and methods passed down from generation to generation, deeply rooted in the region, adapted to the environment and respectful of Mother Nature.

They offer well-known dishes, such as country-style fried breadcrumbs, Alpujarra-style kid, marinated pork loin, gachas pimentonas (a kind of porridge), plato alpujarreño (local mixed grill), stewed fennel, etc. Ruta del Mulhacén also serves char-grilled meat and delicious salads. Be sure to try their vegetarian dishes and homemade desserts.

Ruta del Mulhacén is located inside La Alpujarra Gastronomic Interpretation Centre, whose mission is to recover, utilise and disseminate the customs of Alpujarra cuisine. It is a multi-purpose space for tasting, training and information on traditional regional cuisine comprising a restaurant, tapas bar, terrace-viewpoint and open kitchen.

The Centre is located in a strategic part of La Alpujarra, a highly recommended port of call for all visitors to the area, just as you enter Pampaneira and with ample parking nearby. It has a large façade with balconies and terraces offering superb views towards the towns of El Barranco de Poqueira and the high peaks of Sierra Nevada. The building is fully air-conditioned and is accessible for people with reduced mobility.

Ruta del Mulhacén has its own organic garden and a standing commitment to preserve and promote the countryside of Sierra Nevada.
