Retama
Torrenueva, Spain




The Experience
From Michelin Guide
Retama (“broom” in English), takes its name from this bush with yellow blossom that is a very common sight on Spain’s Central Meseta and in the area around La Caminera, an exclusive and tranquil country hotel with a 9-hole golf course and even its own aerodrome. Its restrained yet charming backdrop of bare tables and Nordic-inspired decor is the perfect setting in which to discover the cooking of chef Miguel Ángel Expósito – a champion of local ingredients and produce and the culinary heritage of traditional La Mancha recipes. His cuisine revolves around three tasting menus (Tradición, Finca La Caminera and Retama) that showcase the restaurant’s solid ties with this region (wild rabbit à la royale, “sequence of partridge from our estate”, shank of wild boar, beetroot escabeche etc), reinterpreting dishes from a modern perspective that incorporates the latest culinary techniques. The views of the countryside from your table are an absolute delight!
