STAGE 20 - San Martín del Camino – Astorga

Bodega El Capricho (Jimenez de Jamúz)

In this restaurant you will find the best beef in the world, and not because we say so, but international newspapers such as The Guardian and The New York Times, Life magazine or Stërn have reviewed this restaurant-winery located in Jimenez de Jamuz village, only 28 kilometers far from Astorga. Here, not only beef is eaten: the animal is cherished since it arrives, their food is closely monitored, and he is pampered and treated as the true king of the house. This affection towards the animal give them the results of an excellent meat. In 2014 ‘Hooves’ arrived here, the world’s largest ox with 1,238.8 kilos of weight, a delicacy savored by people from around the world (under a strict order of booking and a long waitlist). In this meat temple you can try the ox under a thousand different ways: chops, tenderloins, chopped gizzards, shoulders, dried meat… and even as a dessert you can order ox cake. Do not leave Astorga without passing through El Capricho. Include in your plan a visit to this wonderful place that, yes, is not for every budget. Remember to book well in advance!
