A guide by Aroi
A great tapas bar/store on the edge of Elvira (so it is convenient for late nights). A deli by day, you can sample local wines by the glass, each with free tapas- carefully made by the young team.
Order a tabla mixta and you won't need to eat any more, all night! If you want foodie souvenirs they also sell a wide range of local specialities, fresh and dried as well as wines and liqueurs. It is a surprisingly buzzy and friendly place and very popular with locals.

A beautiful unspoilt village to the north of Granada on the route of the Caliphs.
With a 14th Century Moorish Castle towering over the village, views to the Sierra Nevada and down into Granada, the village is an excellent base from which to explore all around the Granada province and even Cordoba.
Not much English spoken in the village but there are two great bars that both do food, a village shop and the church with the famous painting of El Cristo del Paño (The Christ of/in the Cloth).

A traditional Spanish delicatessen offering the very best of Andalucian products. From outstanding, award winning wines through to high quality oils and vinegars and other deli goods. The orange jam is a must try. And be sure to take home a goats cheese in rosemary – it’s the best you will ever taste. All products are locally sourced and the owner is an Englishman called James who has lived in Granada for nearly 20 years.
