WHERE TO EAT The best Cochinillo in the world (according to food experts)

"Set in a delightful 18th-century building in the shadow of the aqueduct, Mesón de Cándido is famous for its cochinillo asado (roast suckling pig)."

"Five dining rooms serving exquisite cochinillo asado and other local specialities – most of which, including the suckling pig, are displayed in the window."

"I’ve only eaten cochinillo a handful of times, so I don’t have much to compare it to, but wow– it was delicious. My father deemed it the best meal of the trip (debatable, but it was pretty amazing)!"

"Established in 1895, Duque boasts several Castillian-inspired dining rooms, all decorated with awards and accolades. This provides the backdrop for an extensive à la carte menu of traditional fare, including the star of the show, the roast suckling pig."

"A sheet of crisp light crackling lay on top, and it was all so gorgeous, porky, rich and moist. I ate it all, and I ate it swiftly. Joy with every bite."

"Their suckling pig is one dish you must try. The skin is really golden and crispy, and the meat will melt in your mouth!"

"Updated Castilian cuisine in a graceful townhouse, with the town's star dish, the roast suckling pig, the house speciality."

"The whole roast suckling pig is a Segovian specialty and is cooked in a huge wood-fired oven. My plate arrives with a large piece of pork shoulder, with a golden brown, crispy and flavourful skin, and as I sink my fork the insides are soft and juicy."

"If there’s one thing you must eat while in Segovia it’s the local speciality of slow-roasted suckling pig or cochinillo. You’ll find numerous eateries that offer it; if you fancy giving it a try, head to Asador Maribel, a restaurant that combines traditional elements such as a wood-burning oven with contemporary touches and dishes."

"The skin looked so normal but then so so so crunchy because it's thin!!! The meat was juicy and soft, surprise surprise no fat at all."
