Little plates of stewed snails, potatoes a lo pobre, battered fish, migas and pinchos constantly pass by the bars of bars and tascas in Granada.
The tapas constitute a sample of the food of the place that comes when the clients order a wineglass or a beer. Authentic food in miniature constitutes a tasty and varied alternative for informal suppers or lunches. To go to have tapas with the friends is one of the more rooted customs in the province.
To go for tapas will also captivate the visitor. To wander around the old historical city centre, a beautiful historical scene, while having tapas in the local places, is a full cultural activity. The Albaicín, Campo del Principe or the Elvira Street are places where you should go by if you want to know the tapas in Granada.
The tapas are just a small sample of what the cuisine from Granada offers. Throughout the centuries the creations and traditional recipes of the Jewish, Arab and Christian cultures have been merged to give way to an original and full cuisine. Thus, honey, spices and fruits are used to season and to accompany meats and fishes, providing tasty dishes like the lamb with apples, gachas with honey, the chicken with almonds or the trout with grenades. In addition, there is a wide variety of plates that have in common their touch “al ajillo”.
Others of the specialties of the area are the salads and cold soups that match with the pleasant temperatures of the region. Gazpachos, pipirranas, ajoblanco (with flour of beans), salads of orange and cod are some of them. You should not forget the excellent sausages that are obtained from the traditional ´matanza´. Because all of this the cuisine from Granada can satisfy all tastes.
