Torremolinos, Restaurant in Churra, Murcia, Spain
Torremolinos is a restaurant in Churra, a district of Murcia in southeastern Spain, specializing in traditional Murcian cooking. The menu covers meat dishes, stews, cured meats, and homemade desserts, alongside a selection of national and international wines.
The restaurant has been operating in Churra since the 1970s, keeping the same traditional recipes throughout that time. Many of those dishes were handed down by a cook named Concha and are still prepared the same way today.
Torremolinos follows recipes passed down through generations, including dishes like olla de cerdo, manitas en salsa, and mondongo. These are everyday staples of Murcian home cooking, served here in their original form without adaptation.
The restaurant sits on the old Churra road and is easy to reach by car. Booking ahead is a good idea, especially at weekends, as the dining room tends to fill up.
The restaurant still cooks its meat over live embers rather than in a pan. This gives the meat a flavor that other cooking methods cannot reproduce.
