In 2021, still with the aftereffects of the Covid crisis, we decided to dedicate ourselves to the restaurant business in a new premises, designed by the architecture studio Clara Isabel Justo Alonso, in an old "pantrillar" threshing floor (a threshing floor with paved sections where cereals were threshed) and an old cattle shed, in the area called The Frog's Payment, in Tiedra.
The word pay, from Latin page, was used to refer to a district of lands or estates, especially vineyards or olive groves, places linked to the land and the identity of a territory.
From that place and that meaning, our name:
The Pago Shelter It was born with that same idea,
a place to take refuge, enjoy the land and savor the authentic..
Here we decided to renovate and build a small restaurant, without a cafe service, with the intention of dedicating maximum attention to our customers, in a spacious environment, with separate tables and reduced capacity.
We are very close to the Tiedra de Lavanda Interpretation Centre, of the Sky and Tiedra Astronomical Observatory, of the Tiedra Castle, from the 11th century and faithfully restored by the City Council, and of the Hermitage and Inn of Our Lady of Tiedra Vieja, in addition to other tourist attractions in this town.
We offer a daily menu from Tuesday to Friday, consisting of four starters and three main courses, which change every day depending on what's available at the market, and a Tasting menu On weekends or by reservation, with an individual appetizer, two starters to share —which we change every month— and a main course of traditional cuisine with some creative touches, local and, above all, homemade.
We believe in a renewed and honest hospitality industry, without overcrowding and with hours that help everyone involved in this project balance work and family life. With home-style cooking that's fun and accessible to all.
Thank you for taking a minute to read our story and, above all, for being a part of it.
