The best
hostal
choices are the
RusiA±ol
, c/San Antonio 76 (tel 918 910 155, fax 918 925 345; a?¬27-36), in the centre of town, and the

).
With plenty of fresh produce around (including the famous strawberries and asparagus in season), the splendid nineteenth-century
Mercado de Abastos
on c/Stuart is a good place to buy your own food for a picnic. If you're after a memorable

meal,
Casa JosA©
, c/Abastos 32 (closed Sun eve & Mon), offers good, but expensive
nouvelle cuisine
, while
Casa Pablo
, c/AlmAbar 42 (closed Aug), is more traditional, with walls covered with pictures of local dignitaries and bullfighters; its nearby offshoot,
Casa Pablete
, c/Stuart 108 (closed Tues & Aug), is good for tapas. Probably the best-known restaurant is the pleasant riverside
La Rana Verde
, c/Reina 1, which dates back to the late nineteenth century and serves a wide-ranging
