Founded in 1895 at the foot of the majestic Segovia Aqueduct, Mesón de Cándido is today the leading reference point for Segovian gastronomy. Famous for its roast suckling pig, this restaurant has managed to keep tradition alive while hosting internationally renowned personalities who have left their mark on its history. Among them, Cristiano Ronaldo, Salvador Dalí, the Emperor of Japan Naruhito and the former President of the United States Jimmy Carter have enjoyed the unique atmosphere and cuisine of this emblematic restaurant.
One of the most distinctive moments of the Mesón de Cándido is the ceremony of cutting the roast suckling pig with a plate, a tradition created by Cándido López himself. This ritual, which symbolizes the tenderness and quality of the dish, has become an icon of Segovian gastronomy, marking a seal of authenticity that can only be found in this house. This gesture, simple and at the same time solemn, has attracted both locals and tourists looking for a unique culinary experience.
