If you want to know what to eat in Maderuelo, we suggest the cordero de lechal (lamb) as it is the main dish of this village. It has a special flavor as the lambs are feed with aromatic bushes. You should also consider the read meats, manitas de cerdo rellenas or seasonal eggs scrambled with mushwooms, which are always on the menus of any restaurant. Try the morcillas (blood sausage) and homemade chorizos, picadillo adobado (minced chorizo) and the other sausages of Segovia. You could also order the delicious artisan duck foie or the curated sheep cheese, apart from a tasty variety of salads and roasted peppers.
We recommend you to try a good wine Vino D.O. Valtiendas or the D.O. Ribera del Duero, as Maderuelo is very close to this territory. Don’t forget to finish your meal with the puff pastries, which you will be able to enjoy whether warm or cold, some figs cooked with wine, stuffed with peanuts or covered in dark chocolate or a cheesecake. There are a lot of dessert possibilities in this welcoming village.
If you want to eat some tapas try the Posada del Medievo. The croquetas, potato tortillas, morcilla and torreznos are some of our favorites. The Mirador de los Templarios has some amazing views and tasty tapas, such as the tortillas and montaditos. They also have a very economical menu.
You will find a traditional but modern offer of places to eat in Maderuelo.
