A warm welcome
The Alhambra and the Generalife are essential, but Granada's friendly population are just as important to its appeal, says Rob Jackson.

El Piano organic food

Posted by danno612 12 July 2008

A very friendly organic restaurant (no sit in; stand-up and take-away only) with a fabulous selection of dishes inspired by the local food culture. You select two choices for a small 'boat' (small, biodegradable pine dishes) and four for a large - and the sweet mint tea is unlimited. They speak (at least) English, French and Spanish, and are a new venture from the folks who run El Piano in York, UK. My wife and I loved it.

They are located a few minutes' walk from the city centre (nothing in Granada is very far...)

Made in Italy

Posted by ieva 2 June 2008

Made in Italy is an Italian bar, pub and pizzeria open from 12:00 to 17:00 and 19:00 to 01:00 and closed on Tuesdays.
This place is fantastic with nice and original decorations but what is best is the particular taste they give to food, typical of south Italy. Tapas are free and you get the best Italian food with every drink.

it's in calle Alhamar 22 Granada madeinitaly.jimdo.com/index.php

The Alhambra is beautiful and really worth a visit. You can see parts of it without tickets but if you want to see the palaces and the wonderful gardens you need them.

Try and book online in advance as the queueing system for buying there is badly organised and can take hours.

This is the official site in English for buying tickets:

Thanks goodness we haven't needed to actually use them yet, but I bought two ID wrist bands for the kids to wear on holiday in Granada, in case they got lost in the city or at the Alhambra.

They're made of velcro so are easy to adjust to fit small wrists. You write your name and contact details on a waterproof piece of paper and slip it inside the little pocket on the inside of the wrist band.

I'm sure they would be good for the beach too.
