Granada

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 […]

La Pajuana — We have finally made it, to visit La Pajuana to write our blog. They are located here since 15 years, but they exist since 1925 in the Avenida Cervantes. They started as a kiosk where they sold fuel, then a combination turning into just a bar. Jorge is the current […]

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 […]

La Posada del Duende — 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 […]

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 […]

Cafe Holandes — 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 […]
