Amazing view over the city of Granada: Restaurant Arriaga (28. December 2019)
The Arriaga is famous for its location which is on top of a building where you get a nice view all over Granada. The view is interesting as it shows a different picture of the city from above. The evening started a bit funny as at first they were not able to encounter my reservation […]
Great place for drinks: Martin’s Cocktail Bar (28. December 2019)
If you have no clue where to go, Google can always be a reliable source. And it was today. The “Red Cherry Mojito” (EUR 6.50) served in the Martin’s Cocktail Bar is definitely worth trying. Not that the bar is spectacular in terms of decoration or the people attending it (rather regular place) but the […]
Amazing place to enjoy a traditional Arabic shisha: Tetería Nazarí (28. December 2019)
The great thing about Granada is that the city was once ruled by Arabs which still shows in various elements of the city. One of them being the fact that there are many tea houses where they also sell shisha. So, it was time for me to get an “apple shisha” (EUR 9.00) which is […]
Bad service but great to take in some sun: Restaurant Tetería Marrakech (28. December 2019)
There is a little patio in the old Arabic city part of Granada which is located in front of the place from which you have the best view onto Alhambra. The place really lives from its location as the service is terribly slow but at least the food is quite okay, the “hummus (chickpea cream, […]
Elige tenerlo todo – when your motto is your curse: Restaurant Maria de la O (27. December 2019)
The Maria de la O is recommended in the Guide Michelin 2019 and, therefore, I thought I’d give it a try. When I arrived I was a bit shocked as the place is really just a bar on the ground floor. And not really too much of an appealing one given they weren’t able to […]
Perfect restaurant to sit outside in the sun and enjoy a bite: Restaurant Taberna La Fresquera (27. December 2019)
When you randomly stroll through the streets of Granada to find out that the restaurant you intended to go to is closed due to Christmas vacation, you end up in the next best thing. In this case this was La Taberna La Fresquera which was actually very nice given you get to sit outside in […]
Lovely atmosphere but very average breakfast: Restaurant El Claustro @ Hotel Palacio De Santa Paula, Autograph Collection (27. December 2019)
The breakfast selection at the El Claustro is relatively limited. There is a bit of everything but beyond the basics like fruit … … a few cold cuts and cheeses … … and more fruit … … or cereal elements … … bread with the typical Spanish tomato sauce as well as guacamole is all […]
Nice experience in a former monastery: Restaurant Alacena de las Monjas (26. December 2019)
The Alacena de las Monjas is basically an old crypt which has been repurposed as a restaurant and is rather nice in terms of atmosphere. The upper part on ground level isn’t all that appealing but once you walk down and are seated in one of the little cave, things lighten up. You are getting […]
