Gastronomic tour itinerary

Along the way, this tapas tour in Granada allows you to discover historic squares and lively spots. Here are some of the most outstanding stops:

• First of all, Plaza del Carmen:

   We begin in this central square where Granada's Town Hall is located. In the past, it housed the Official Tribune during Holy Week. Nowadays, it is still a neuralgic point where festivities and free events are occasionally held.

• Isabel La Católica Square:

  Next, we come to this square, also known as Colón. This is an urban space that marks the beginning of the Gran Vía de Colón. Here you can see a bronze sculpture of Isabel La Católica and Christopher Columbus, the work of the sculptor Mariano Benlliure.

• Plaza Nueva:

  The route then takes us to this curious square with its irregular pentagonal shape. Part of it is located over the Darro River, which, curiously enough, played a very important role in the history of the city, especially in 1835.

• Granada Cathedral:

  Further on, we visited this imposing building, located on the site of the former mosque. It is currently the most important Catholic church in the city and the seat of the archdiocese. It is also considered a masterpiece of the Spanish Renaissance.

• Finally, Bib-Rambla Square:

  We arrived at this charming square surrounded by cafés and restaurants. It is very close to the liveliest shopping streets of Granada. Its origins date back to the Nasrid period, when it was a place for commercial exchanges. Later, it was the scene of bullfights and jousting. Today, it is perfect for enjoying a tapa next to its emblematic fountain.
