Mesón de Despeñaperros

Located in the district of Santa Elena, in the heart of the Despeñaperros Nature Reserve, the Mesón de Despeñaperros is part of the facilities of the Hotel El Mesón.

It is located in stunning surroundings, ideal for exploring the World Heritage Cities of Úbeda and Baeza, the Cástulo archaeological complex and the Jaen Route of Castles and Battles.

The excellent cuisine, prepared from local products, and the quality of the menu make this restaurant an obligatory stop-over for all those passing through Despeñaperros. The cuisine corresponds to the Mediterranean diet, with typical dishes from the regional cuisine of Jaén like home-made partridge pâté, red pine mushrooms, Alfonso XIII omelette, game in wild mushroom sauce, roast kid goat, etc.

In summer the cuisine can best be enjoyed on the magnificent terrace, with incredible views of the mountains.
