Who says there’s no such thing as a free lunch? Granada is one of the last towns to offer a free tapas plate with every round of drinks, a once widespread practice throughout Spain. After ordering your alcoholic beverage of choice, the waiter typically chooses a portioned local dish, although in some bars you can select from a list.
Tapas crawls with friends is one of the most ingrained local traditions in Granada. Go for a stroll through the city, soak up its history, and indulge in the endless old-school tapas restaurants and bars. Plaza Nueva and the surrounding streets such as Calle Elvira and Calle Colcha are a great starting point that houses the town’s most popular spots. Slowly make your way to the area around the cathedral to Plaza de la Romanilla and Plaza de la Pescadería as the night goes on. If you’re a sucker for good food and drink, Granada’s tapas scene is one of the very best things to do in Spain.
