Meson La Molienda - Benalauria

The valley of the genal extends along the river genal, in the province of maraca. In autumn it is a show worthy to see: orange, ochre and brown stains in contrast to the white villages that form it. Walking through the woods of chestnuts with the soil covered with dry leaves is a real pleasure that all communicate among them by the ancient paths used by the inhabitants of this area. a beautiful route is the one that goes from algatocon to benalauria, crossing chestnut forests, crazy areas, chaparros, holm oaks, pines, etc. and as a prize for the walk and to replenish forces, that better than a lunch in the restaurant the grind, in benalauria. rural environment in old rehabilitated homes and with a traditional menu of kitchen with land products, in which the chestnut is protagonist at this time of year. It has a store with handmade products (packed cacañuelas, sausages, cheeses, honey, liquors, etc. and then, if there is strength, a visit to the ethnographic moeo of benalauría, installed in a real oil mill, where fernando and his faithful dog will make you a visit of the most fun. Don't miss it!

The meson the grinding is one of those places where enjoying the good table stops being a theme to become an experience you have to have from time to time. visiting benalauria is something we should all do, especially in autumn, when the chestnuts we find on the road offer us a landscape of painting. getting to benalauria on the round is a beautiful route. There are several road viewpoints that allow us to contemplate views of villages and landscapes of the mountain range, in all viewpoints there is information about the landscape and the bird species that can be observed. As we arrived at benalauria at 12am, we had a lot of time to walk through the beautiful streets of the village. the naturarte shop is worth visiting, there we can see the fingers and mónica working the dried flowers, with which they make very nice tables and at very good price. In the same shop we were informed of the visit to the ethnographic moeo of benalauría. It is a very well restored xviii oil mill, and in which a recent historical tour is carried out through an audiovisual that takes you all corners of the moeo. Awesome of the mill press beam. 12 meters long (spectacular) beam of chestnut wood after this instructive walk and with the hunger that these visits give us, we arrived at the month where they treated us with a smile and gave us a table overlooking the valley of the genal. To start the opening mouth we asked for cheese and Iberian sausages from the area (I don't know it was better.) first I asked the grandmother's soup that I really knew the soup my mother does. From the second I tried the flesh of the massacre I knew glory. We took a very appropriate round wine for the dishes we had chosen. I think it was a very good lizard at a price. with so much food that we could not ask for dessert, but if we bought there some chestnut boats in syrup and brown glacé that when we opened it at home a few days later they reminded us of the grinding, benalauria and a very pleasant day in the round serrania. If all this adds that eating 4 people, with wine we got less than 25 euros per head, you will agree with me that you have to go back to the mill to try new dishes. the next time we go we will stay in one of the rural houses that we saw for the city and that they told us to leave to 18 euros per person and night.

El Valle del Genal se extiende a lo largo del río Genal, en la provincia de Málaga. En otoño es un espectáculo digno de ver: manchas naranjas, ocres y marrones en contraste con los blancos pueblos que lo forman. Pasear por los bosques de castaños con el suelo cubierto de hojas secas es un verdadero placer. Todos están comunicados entre ellos por los caminos antiguos utilizados por los habitantes de esta zona. Una ruta preciosa es la que va de Algatocón a Benalauría, cruzando bosques de castaños, zonas de madroños, chaparros, encinas, pinos, etc. Y como premio por la caminata y para reponer fuerzas, que mejor que un almuerzo en el Restaurante La Molienda, en Benalauría. Ambiente rural en antigua vivienda rehabilitada y con una carta de cocina tradicional con productos de la tierra, en la que la castaña es protagonista en esta época del año. Tiene una tienda con de productos artesanales (castañas envasadas, embutidos, quesos, miel, licores, etc. . Y después, si quedan fuerzas, una visita al museo etnográfico de Benalauría, instalado en un molino de aceite auténtico, donde Fernando y su perro fiel os harán una visita de lo más divertida. ¡¡No os lo perdáis!!

El Mesón La Molienda es uno de esos sitios donde disfrutar de la buena mesa deja de ser un tópico para convertirse en una experiencia que hay tener de vez en cuando. Visitar Benalauría es algo que todos deberíamos hacer, sobre todo en otoño, cuando los castaños que encontramos de camino nos ofrecen un paisaje de cuadro. Llegar a hasta Benalauría desde Ronda es una ruta preciosa. Hay varios miradores a pie de carretera que nos permiten contemplar vistas de pueblos y paisajes de la Serranía de Ronda, en todos los miradores hay información sobre el paisaje y sobre las especies de aves que se pueden observar. Como llegamos a Benalauría sobre las 12 de la mañana, tuvimos tiempo suficiente para callejear por las bonitas calles del pueblo. La tienda Naturarte merece la pena visitarla, allí pudimos ver a Ines y a Mónica trabajando las flores secas, con las que hacen unos centros de mesas muy bonitos y a muy buen precio. En la misma tienda nos informaron de la visita al Museo Etnográfico de Benalauría. Se trata de un molino de aceite del siglo XVIII muy bien restaurado y en el que se hace un recorrido por la historia reciente a través de un audiovisual que te lleva por todos los rincones del museo. Impresionante la viga de la prensa del molino... Una viga de madera de castaño de 12 metros de largo (espectacular) Tras este instructivo paseo y con el hambre que dan estas visitas, llegamos al mesón donde nos atendieron con una sonrisa y nos dieron una mesa con vistas al Valle del Genal. Para empezar a abrir boca pedimos queso y embutidos ibéricos de la zona (no se que estaba más bueno). De primero me pedí la Sopa de la Abuela que de verdad sabía a la sopa que hace mi madre. De segundo probé la carne de la matanza que me supo a gloria. Nos tomamos un vino de Ronda muy apropiado para los platos que habíamos elegido. Creo que era un Lagarejo que estaba muy bien de precio. Con tanta comida no pudimos pedir postre, pero si compramos allí mismo unos botes de castañas en almíbar y de marrón glacé que cuando lo abrimos en casa unos días después nos recordaron La Molienda, Benalauría y un día muy agradable en la Serranía de Ronda. Si a todo esto le sumas que comiendo 4 personas, con vino nos salió a menos de 25 euros por cabeza, estarás de acuerdo conmigo de que hay que volver a la Molienda para probar nuevos platos. La próxima vez que vayamos nos quedaremos en alguna de las casas rurales que vimos por el pueblo y que nos dijeron que salen a 18 euros por persona y noche.
