VACAMU

A Segovian grill at the foot of the mountains

In Ortigosa del Monte, VACAMU makes the grill the center of the meal. Its setting beneath the Mujer Muerta range gives the restaurant a natural place on an outing through the Segovian countryside, close to the Ruta del Berrocal. The house’s signature is pincho de lechazo, a skewer of young lamb cooked over the fire; aged beef and lamb chops ordered by the dozen extend the focus on open-fire cooking.

Local flavors, served at an unhurried pace

The menu also brings in regional dishes such as judiones de La Granja and wines from nearby vineyards. VACAMU was founded by Félix del Barrio de la Fuente, who remains visible in the dining room and helps groups plan meals, according to the restaurant’s account of its history. Recent diners have called out the aged steak, the terrace, and attentive service. The result is a place where the meal and the surrounding landscape feel like parts of the same day out.
