Culinary Gem Discovered in Riodeva: A Taste of Authentic Spain in a Village of 50

Riodeva, Teruel – In the heart of Spain's sparsely populated "empty Spain," a culinary experience is drawing attention. A recent video review by content creator victorprous highlighted "Bar restaurante El Salón" in Riodeva, a village home to just 50 residents. The eatery offers a €19 daily menu, featuring traditional, homemade dishes that have captivated the reviewer and his audience. The menu includes hearty first courses such as alubias (beans with various pork cuts) and a main course of tender carrilleras (pork cheeks) served with crispy fries. For dessert, guests enjoy cuajada (curdled milk) with local honey. The reviewer expressed particular admiration for the slow-cooking methods, stating, "If the beans had five hours of cooking, this [pork cheeks] has no less than four." He emphasized the authenticity, noting, "Here, everything is homemade. There's nothing industrial." The restaurant's owner, Pedro, confirmed the traditional approach, even revealing a lack of social media presence. When asked about online platforms, Pedro reportedly said they "don't use them." This old-school charm, combined with the quality of the food, resonated with the reviewer, who remarked on the "concentrated flavors" achieved through long cooking times. The experience, according to the reviewer, "has been worth the 300-kilometer drive." This small village restaurant offers a glimpse into Spain's rich culinary heritage, proving that exceptional food can be found in the most unexpected places.
