Mesón Cándido was the single worst meal we had in Spain this summer. Granted, we didn't eat the suckling pig, but we paid well over $60 for one gazpacho, two atún escabechado (cold pickled tuna -- DH had it as a first course and I had it as my main course), one roast something (veal?), which consisted of 2 thin slices of meat covered in gravy and a few (6-8) peas for garnish, one glass of wine, one bottle of mineral water. And nothing -- not even the bread -- was good. The gazpacho was acceptable. And we were almost as hungry after eating as before

Just my opinion, YMMV of course!
