Entre Brasas — In the second half of July, on a Tuesday afternoon, I decided to visit a bar in a street where I usually tell people not to go for tapas. But Entre Brasas is a positive exception in this street and it is worth a visit. Miguel runs the bar already […]

Luises — In the first half of August we have visited Luises, on a Saturday afternoon. There were not a lot of people. But as they told me Saturday afternoon is a quiet day in summer as many Granadinos are at the beach during the weekend. The majority of the clients are […]

Huerto Abuelo Cebolleta — In April we visited for the second time Huerto Abuelo Ceboletta. During our first visit, it was a very sunny day, but the service wasn’t that good. This time it was a rather cold day and I stayed inside all the time, close to the chimney. Very comfy with the […]

Sacacorchas — My start in Taberna Sacacorchos was not a good one. The two waitresses passed me several times without saying a word. With a Spanish couple that entered just after me, they reacted a lot quicker. Maybe they are not so much interested in attending foreigners. The funny thing is […]
