Halal experience in Granada
Enjoy a traditional and authentic Halal experience!
Halal experience in Granada respects the environment principles demands and the highest possible quality.
Halal is an Arabic word meaning “legal” or “permitted”.
According to the “Halal Instituto”, the word halal could be translated as authorized, recommended, healthy, ethical or not abusive.
They said that Muslims understand the term Halal, as a lifestyle, a global and comprehensive concept that influences and affects everyday issues, such as food, hygiene, health, economy, fashion, commerce and tourism.
Following these guidelines, this experience offers you the most genuine and exclusive taste of Halal in Granada. It is open to anyone seeking a balanced diet that cultivates a strong, healthy physical condition.
Granada is a perfect place for this experience because it has eight centuries of Muslim history. As the last Muslim territory in the Iberian Peninsula, it features their very visible legacy.
Granada is internationally known for the Alhambra & Generalife, but it is also famed for its rich culinary heritage.
What is a Halal experience in Granada?
A Halal experience in Granada is a combination of culture, history, and gastronomy.
This experience includes two parts.
- First, we will discover the culture and history while taking a one hour and half walking guided tour through the streets of the oldest district of Granada: the Albaicín.
- Second, you will enjoy a real Halal food experience but not in a Halal Restaurant.
Albaicín: Halal history and culture
The Albaicin is a large and homogeneous urban ensemble, unique in Andalucía.
We will delight in its stories and unique architecture, wander around its narrow streets, traveling to a bygone time.
We will explore the buildings, houses, and traditional spots popular during the Muslim period of Granada, such as the Hamman (steam bath), the Mosque, the souk (the Arabic market), reservoir, houses, and river.
You will discover why water was and still is so important to daily life.
In the blink of an eye, we will move through the different Albaicin neighborhoods (or “arrabales” in Spanish), while we zigzag up and down its slopes.
You will also learn about this quarter’s singular way of life, why it was declared a World Heritage Site, and many other secrets. All through this, we will be enjoying the best city views!
The magic of the Alhambra provides the perfect backdrop to the Albaicin. Some street corners will surprise you and fill you with awe. If you like photography, get ready to take the best photos of your entire trip.
An authentic and exclusive Halal food experience
After knowing the neighborhood’s life, you will enjoy a real Halal food experience, straight from the pages of A Thousand and One Nights. It includes a first and second course, dessert, and homemade lemonade.
A dear Moroccan friend from Casablanca will cook exclusively for you and yours. Love brought her to Granada 20 years ago, just like it brought me.
She is an art lover and a very passionate cook. Her secret, learned from her mother, is to treat all the Halal ingredients with utmost care. She elaborates her dishes with exquisite, locally-sourced produce.
Have lunch at a local’s home
But these are not the only reasons this is such a unique and exclusive experience. How many tourists can say they had lunch at a local’s home?
You will feel like your best friend just prepared the perfect Halal feast for you when you enjoy this amazing lunch at my friend’s own home.
So, what are you waiting for?
