El Acebuchal is also known as 'The Lost Village', a must see. The village has one restaurant/bar and offers traditional 'campo' food (rich delicious game meat). They also have a small store in the village selling locally made bread, wine, honey and many other goods. Be aware that the road can be a bit bumpy along the way. Many mountain walks start and end from here, so if hiking is your thing, this is a great place for you.
