Where to Try Cochinillo Asado:

Segovia is famous for Cochinillo Asado and its inhabitants know it - restaurants in Segovia charge way over the odds for the dish.

There is a also great bar in nearby Salamanca (called 'Cochinillo Asado', appropriately) on c/Van Dyck (on the western end, near the cinemas) where a glass of wine and a piece of excellent Cochinillo will set you back just 2€.

The nearest airports to Segovia and Salamanca are Madrid and Valladolid.
