Discover the gastronomy of Granada and… go for tapas!
Granadian cuisine offers a variety of traditional dishes that will delight both the most classic and traditional palates, as well as gourmets. An example of this is the “Tortilla del Sacromonte,” typical of the city and named after one of the most famous neighborhoods in Granada, the Sacromonte neighborhood. It is an omelet made from offal (lamb brains and testicles, among others), to which peas, walnuts, and breadcrumbs are added.
Another typical preparation from Granada is the “Moraga de sardines,” which is cooked with sardines from Motril. The sardines are bathed in a mixture of white wine, lemon juice, olive oil, garlic, and parsley. The indescribable maritime and fresh flavor it leaves in your mouth is delightful.
Although we could mention many other dishes, what characterizes Andalusian gastronomy is “tapeo,” one of the favorite pastimes of the Spanish that is increasingly attracting a wider audience. So keep reading, as we introduce you to the art of tapas in Granada.
