Enjoying a panoramic view of Granada's city and the beautiful Sierra Nevada, this splendid hotel is nestled right in front of the Alhambra, one of the most wonderful and visited sites of the world. The historical city centre is easy reachable within a 15-minute walk and public transport links are about 50 m from the property. The hotel's guest rooms feature a bright Mediterranean décor, designed to offer a space full of serenity where guests can relax and feel at ease while watching their favourite programme on a flat-screen TV or surfing for free on the Internet. The on-site restaurant, with its gorgeous terrace, invites visitors to enjoy a stunning mountain view while tasting some local specialities. On hot summer days, guests may take a refreshing dip into the sparkling outdoor pool and soak up the sun while lying on the sun loungers. Whether travelling for leisure or on business purposes, the hotel is the perfect choice to spend a lovely holiday on a unique setting.

This unique establishment in the old town, whose name pays tribute to the colourful ruffles that adorn the typical flamenco dresses, is located on the first floor, as El Quejío Wine-Bar, a more informal space where they also organise live singing and dancing exhibitions, is at street level. The restaurant, as such, focuses on chef Cristina Jiménez's updates to the traditional recipes of Granada, offering three very interesting tasting menus (Susurros del Sacromonte, La magia del Albayzin and Alborán) and proposing a gastronomic journey through the flavours of the province to discover the Salad

€€

If a fusion of Andalucian and Arabian flavours appeals to you, this simple restaurant, located beneath an arcade providing access to a residential building could be a good option. Albidaya, an Arabic word that could be translated as “the beginning”, is the first stand-alone personal venture for Ismael Abderrahaman (in the kitchen) and Jorge Seco (front of house and sommelier), both of whom have extensive experience in the restaurant sector. Their cuisine is centred around a market-inspired seasonal menu that changes weekly and features contemporary dishes that showcase interesting influences f

Chef Raúl Sierra, who also takes the orders and is very present in the dining room, is committed to a contemporary gastronomy that continues to showcase Andalusian flavours based on modern techniques, with a few nods to other countries and extremely careful presentations.

Located in the area known as the Forum, near the Parque de Las Ciencias, this restaurant is definitely worth a visit as it is intimate (just four tables) and boasts a meticulously contemporary interior. The cuisine here is an updated take on tradition that always pays homage to French (the chef, Samuel Hernández, is of French origin), Portuguese (because of his mother) and Spanish (because of his father) recipes. The concept revolves around a single tasting menu, with wine pairing options, which changes with each season and prioritises the use of seasonal and locally sourced produce, as well a

Authentic fresh quisquilla from Motril, cañaíllas, baby whiting, octopus, and John Dory... If you have never tried these spectacular dishes, you are in for a treat; This neighbourhood bar is famous in Spain and beyond for the quality of its food! The renovated premises, decorated with photographs of the great chefs who have passed through it, has a good bar where you can eat and a well cared for display, with catch of the day and seafood (almost everything arrives daily from the Motril fish market). You must book in advance!

Everyone knows this place as it has been run by the Pedraza family since 1976 and is considered a real dining institution in the province. Facilities include several function rooms for private events plus a main dining room that is particularly striking thanks to the typically Granada-style jugs (they say there are over 3 000 of them!) hanging from the ceiling. The extensive à la carte of traditional dishes and the restaurant’s setting in a Mudejar-inspired property have won it universal acclaim. A visit to the wine cellar is also a must.
