Eating in Granada
When it comes to restaurants Granada certainly isn't one of the gastronomic centres of Spain, possibly due in part to the granadino tapas bars which tempt away potential diners by giving out some of the most generous tapas in Andalucía - one comes free with every drink. We have recommended a few of the best of these, and the municipal tourist office gives out a handy tapas bar leaflet to help you locate more. A flavour of North Africa is to be found along c/Calderería Nueva and its surrounds in "Little Morocco", where you'll find health-food stores as well as numerous Moroccan tearooms and eating places. This street is useful for assembling picnics for Alhambra visits, as is the revamped ultramodern Mercado Municipal in Plaza San Agustín just north of the cathedral (Mon-Fri early until 1.30pm). Inexpensive restaurants - most serving an economical menú del día - can be found among the inevitable tourist traps all over Granada. The warren of streets between Plaza Nueva and Gran Vía has plenty of good-value places, particularly tapas bars, as does the area around Plaza del Carmen (near the ayuntamiento ) and along c/Navas leading away from it. Another good location is the Campo del Principe , a pleasant square below the south side of the Alhambra hill, with a line of open-air restaurant terraces, highly popular on summer nights.
