From the moment we rounded the corner and saw this restaurant until the sad minute it was time to leave, we were absolutely engrossed in the atmosphere of this restaurant, the owner Pernilla who welcomes you as if you're coming to her home for dinner, the Finnish chefs Pia and Petri, and the entire staff. If we could have gotten away with licking our plates, we would have. You are completely overwhelmed with Spanish culture with a a Scandinavian twist on the food ... the presentation, the quantity, the quality, the timing ... everything was absolutely exceptional ... beyond any of our expectations. If you don't visit El Castillo for a meal, you are missing out on one of the best restaurants in Benahavis! Take your time and savor every bite :) Pernilla has a unique talent of reading her guests ... whether they're there for a private romantic evening and want to be left alone or if her guests are open to suggestions or if her guests are open to just talking about the details of their meal. What ever you are looking for, this is the perfect venue! Enjoy! read more
