Granada Tapas Bars
Rather than try to provide you with a definitive list of Granada's tapas bars
we've selected the key areas you should target and suggested a few you might like
to check out ....
Plaza Nueva and Cathedral Area
La Trastienda (c/Cuchilleros 11). For novelty value you must make a brief
visit to this little bar where you have to crouch under the counter of a shop
selling ham and cheese to get into the bar area. ***
Bodegas Castañeda (c/Almireceros 1). One of the city’s oldest bars which serves
great tapas including generous ham and cheese.
Bodegas La Mancha (c/Joaquin Costa 10). Traditional bar just around the corner
from Bodegas Castañeda serving a good range of tapas.
Casa Enrique (Acera de Darro 8). This fine little bar on the right between
Puerta Real and Corte Inglés has a fine selection of quality hams and wines.
Well worth a visit.
Al Pie de la Torre (c/Pie de la Torre s/n). Close to the foot of the cathedral’s
tower this is an atmospheric little bar for simple tapas.
Hannigan and Sons (c/Cetti Merriem s/n). Central Irish pub popular with visitors
and students. Reasonable Guinness and Skysports if you need it.
El Rinconcillo (Plaza Nueva, next to Pilar de Toro restaurant). Friendly bar
with terrace serving good tapas and raciones.
Casa Julio (c/Hermosa). Small drinking bar off Plaza Nueva which serves some
excellent fried seafood tapas.
Casa Cepillo (c/Pescadería). Cheap comedor (dining room) very popular with
locals for its great-value menús – fish and squid are the specialities.
Cafetería-Restaurante La Riviera (c/Cettimeriem 5). Popular café with a good
menú económico, including a vegetarian option.
Hotel Reina Cristina, (c/Tablas 4). This hotel bar is the building in which
Lorca spent his last days before being seized by the fascists. Good tapas.
Albaicín
El Yunque (Plaza San Miguel Bajo 3). Great place to sit outside at lunchtime
after visiting the Mirador de San Nicolás. It is owned by an ex-flamenco singer
and his wife. Try the pollo en saisa de almendras (chicken in almond sauce) and
lomo alpujarreño (pork loin). They have a tiny dining room for wet days.
Bar Lara (Plaza San Miguel Bajo). A good bar with a terrace on the same square
as El Yunque and serves good tapas.
Rincón del Aurora (Plaza San Miguel Bajo 7). Another good bar with outdoor
tables on the same square. Try the fritura (fried fish) or carne al la Rondeña.
Campo Del Principe And Carrera Del Darro
Bar Amparo (Campo del Principe 18). One of many great bars on this square which
is popular with locals. Fine area for tapas.
En un lugar del Alhambra (Carrera del Darro 51). Lying on the river below the
Alhambra hill this is a great spot for a drink looking up at the Palace.
Rabo de Nube (Paseo de los Tristes) Another good bar at the far end of the
Carrera del Darro where you can enjoy a superb view of the Alhambra from next to
the river bed.
