True Taste of Granada Old Town & Albaicin Tapas Tour
Overview of the tour in Granada
Vibrant neighbourhoods and gastronomy. What more could you want? We have combined two of our favourites to bring you the true essence of Granada. This fun and tasty tour takes you from the Arab Quarter down to the Old Town while enjoying local flavours.
The meeting point is Plaza Nueva, “The New Square” yet, ironically the oldest square in the city. From here enter the maze of the Albaicin. Be transported back in time as we meander its streets and wind through the “Calle de las teterías”. Try your first tapas, a dish inspired by these times.
Then it’s on to join the bustle of the central marketplace and its juicy-looking produce. Soak up the local ambiance as you enjoy some of our favorite drinks and tapas. At each of the tapas bars, you will have a drink and a choice of one plate to share.
Next, we will enter the heart of Granada’s buzzing social scene to find a lively tavern to end. Of course, it’s also time for your first pionono, the typical dessert, born in Granada with its own unique story.
We can accommodate any dietary needs as Spanish food can include vegetarian, vegan, non-pork and other options. Please notify us in advance.
