Just before lockdown we visited La Cavilla. A bar that opened their doors in December 2019. I got to know the owner, Israel, in Casa de los Vinos, la Brujidera, where he used to work for ages. As he is much into wines, and in his new bar has a […]

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 […]
Luises
When I visited Los Marianos it was December. Quite some time has gone by. At that time there were only two Marianos, one in Plaza Mariana Pineda and the other one in Calle Concepción.Now they even have three bars. The first bar in Calle Concepción opened a little over 2,5 […]
Los Marianos
I visited Casa Colon one afternoon during the week. About two o’clock four tables inside were occupied and none outside. Half an hour later six tables were occupied and there were three couples sitting at the bar. The bar exists since 8 years. The menu is American & Latin American […]
Casa Colon
We have visited the Garden Plaza two times. First was a couple of month ago together with the competition and with a couple of friends. We were invited to try the tapas and we went a Friday evening. This Saturday I returned on my one to take some more photos […]
Garden Plaza
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 […]
Huerto Abuelo Cebolleta
Last Saturday we went for a hike up to Pinos Genil and discovered La Carretilla. It is located in the centre of the village, along the river. We had a table on the terrace. This afternoon there were ten tables, but during the summer the amount of tables easily doubles. […]
La Carretilla
Our last visit was to La Posada del Duende. The name Posada del Duende, is derived from the streetname, but also from the duende (spirit) of the bullfighters, and above all the way of being a torero. According to the waiter, the spirit has died, but the theme related to […]
La Posada del Duende
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 […]
Taberna Sacacorchos
The first Saturday of November we visited Taberna Los Pensadores, thanks to a tip from a friend. I usually do not go out in the Calle Alhamar zone, but I think I can make an exception for this bar. This afternoon, around 3 o’clock the bar was full. We were […]

I accidently got to know Pura Vida. Actually I wanted to return to Manigua with some friends, to try their tapas. Turned out that since May 2017 Pura Vida is now located where Manigua was. I liked their tapas, so I decided to return and write this blog. Pura Vida […]

In January 2017 they started with the bar Tragalios. The name is based on the trouble (lios) to open a bar, looking for a perfect location and from one or several glasses (tragos) while thinking about a name. Years ago I had been drinking a glass of wine with a […]
Vinotekan Tragalios – Closed
In the beginning of September we also visited La Reina Kitchen Bar. I got to know this bar thanks to Instagram and I also used to work in front of it. This bar is part of a hotel that opened their doors a little under a year ago, on December […]

In the beginning of September we visited the Taberna Malvasía. I already wanted to visit it in August, but then it was closed for holidays. And the day we did get to visit the bar, it was exactly two years since the opening. Congrats! The decoration of the bar is […]
Taberna Malvasia
A couple of weeks ago I wanted to visit another bar, which was unfortunately closed for holidays. But as the son of the owner is co-owner of La Botilleria, I decided to go there instead and write this blog about them. This bar opened about five years ago. It wasn’t […]
La Botilleria
Last week I visited La Tana. A bar I have been before. A wine bar that in the evenings is always very busy. And I have to admit when I arrived around 13.30h, the bar was also quite packed. But the son of the owner was very willing to answer […]
Taberna La Tana
Like I said in my fore last blog, we visited the Angel Ganivet street to discover the tapas there. In this bar, that opened their doors in 1992, I have never been before. La Castellana is a bar with an old feeling and a clientele a bit more classy and […]
La Castellana
Last week I went to a bar in a street I do not frequent, if I am looking for tapas. I got to know this bar thanks to Instagram. It turned out that TTT is rather new and only exist for 6,5 months, so since January 2017. Of course I […]
TTT Granada
This bar I simply chose because of its name. As you might know.. I am Dutch. I just wanted to know what Café Holandes had to do with Holland, or better said The Netherlands. First of all, it looks nothing like a Dutch ‘Café’, more like a cafeteria/snack bar. I […]
Cafe Holandes
When I accidentally stumbled upon Bar Tango on Facebook, I just had to check it out. Those who know me, know that I love Argentinian Tango. I love to dance it. And with the new owner, since two months, the name isn’t just a name any more of the bar. […]
Bar Tango
Two weeks ago we accidentally discovered this bar. I once was in Rhin Barril in the city centre and wanted to visit their bar in the Zaidin this time. But a bad choice. The first waiter cleaned our table and told us that his colleague was going to take our […]
