When it comes to
restaurants
Granada certainly isn't one of the gastronomic centres of Spain, possibly due in part to the
granadino
A
tapas bars
which tempt away potential diners by giving out some of the most generous tapas in AndalucAa - 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/CaldererAa 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 AgustAn just north of the cathedral (Mon-Fri early until 1.30pm). Inexpensive restaurants - most serving an economical
menA? del dAa
- can be found among the inevitable tourist traps all over Granada. The warren of streets between
Plaza Nueva
and
Gran VAa
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. Other useful information
