Granada Tapas Tour

Sampling local cuisines is one of the best parts of traveling. Spain is a world power in gastronomy because we simply have the best Mediterranean cuisine.

A good place to start getting to know Spanish cuisine is to try tapas, which are a culture all in themselves. Granada is renowned for its delicious tapas, and you should definitely try them.

What are Tapas, actually?

Tapas are a sort of appetizer or a small main course portion included in the price of one drink. 

Two things you should know: in most places you cannot choose the tapa but, in some others, you can select it from their menu.

It is a perfect excuse to try different dishes and discover your preference!

Why are tapas so popular in Granada?

Remember when you were a student and your financial resources were limited? You would do what it took to get more for less. Which is exactly what happened with university students in Granada.

Inadvertently, what began as a need has become a popular tradition today.

The locals love going around the bars and eating tapas as a social excuse to meet friends and family.

What is the secret of the Granada’s Tapas?

The secret starts with our extra virgin oil as a principal ingredient. We then add abundant seasonal fruits and vegetables, along with a moderately high quantity of fresh fish and seafood.

The finishing touches are legumes and dairy.

But that’s not all; the process is very important.

We live in a hasty world that leaves us with very little time for many of the basic things in daily life. When was the last time that you enjoyed a home-cooked meal with your family?

The other secret is our unique Spanish art of cooking.

Meals are cooked over low heat every single day. This helps the food keep its nutrients and properties. I can almost smell it! My daughter often says: “Mom, this food smells nutritious!”

There is nothing more special than enjoying one of life’s simplest pleasures. Imagine savoring your grandmother’s best dishes while sitting at a table with the people you love the most.
