Andalucia has long remained one of the more undiscovered areas of Spain, but this is clearly no reflection on the exceptional restaurants to be found across the region.

Now there is a book to help you navigate your way through the finest restaurants in Southern Spain; In Dining Secrets of Andalucia, author Jon Clarke takes you on a step-by-step tour, with easy-to-use maps, information on the local history of each restaurant, and the author’s top tips.

The first restaurant guide of its kind for this area of Spain, Dining Secrets of Andalucia takes you from the highly respected, highly priced Tragabuches in Ronda to the simple, self-effacing Venta El Castillejo in Cadiz, and beyond.

Many of the restaurants featured in this guide are also found in our Globalista Report for Andalucia, including the grand El Faro in the Cadiz Province which is a wine connoisseur’s dream, the intimate Almocabar in the Malaga Province and Egana Oriza in Seville.

The range of restaurants in this guide confirms the culinary revolution that is now putting this area of Spain on the map. Although not the most beautiful book to look at, the content in this guide would be extremely useful for food lovers keen to scout out Andalucia’s finest gastronomic delights.
