My wife and I were in Ronda Spain this summer (August 2022) and had a most pleasant dining experience at the El Campillo, in the Plaza Maria Auxiliadora, one evening. The restaurant resides in the old town which is quite charming. The outdoor seating area was large, and the vibrancy of the small plaza was enhanced further still by a most skilled guitar player that frequents the plaza daily/nightly. The only thing I can say is a detraction to the experience is a couple of dumpsters across the street against a wall. But such is the quirkiness of old towns with narrow streets. Overall, our experience was near ideal. If you have travelled to Spain from another country as we did, you will know what I am talking about when I mention that the Spanish menu at all tourist locations is usually very limited. There seems to be about a dozen common dishes available at restaurants, and half of those are seafood related. And this at perhaps each business along an entire street, even for restaurants and cafes that are right beside each other. It is hard to find a place that offers a pizza, or a pasta dish, or even a plain old hamburger. Luckily for me the El Campillo had spaghetti Bolognese, so such an appreciated respite! The wine was great too of course! I do recommend the El Campillo for a great evening experience. And thanks to our waiter Toribio for his service at our table.
