After the walk, what you want is clear: somewhere to eat well, without overthinking it, in a setting that matches the moment.
This is where El Vasco, in Bunyola, comes in. Its approach fits perfectly with this kind of plan: food designed to be enjoyed, flavourful dishes and a relaxed atmosphere that invites you to linger a little longer.
Located just a few minutes from the Jardines de Alfàbia, it’s a convenient and natural choice to round off the day without going out of your way.

What to order at El Vasco after visiting the Jardines de Alfàbia
After a walk like that, you’ll want something satisfying. These two dishes fit the plan perfectly:
- Slow-cooked beef cheek with truffled mashed potatoes. A rich, comforting dish that’s perfect for refuelling. The meat is cooked slowly in its own juices until tender, served with a creamy mash that completes the plate.
- Josper-grilled octopus with potatoes and smoked paprika. If you prefer something lighter but just as flavourful, the grilled octopus is a reliable choice. Good product, the right level of char and a subtle smoky touch that always works.
Two different dishes, but with something in common: they both suit the moment. Good food, no complications, after a proper walk.
