Granada - Eating
Tapas is the famous style of eating in Spain, and refers to a portion of food rather than a type of cuisine. Tapas are small portions of a variety of dishes. The idea is to eat a little bit of many different items, rather than one large portion. Sharing food is a cultural necessity in Spain and adds to the energetic, friendly charm of this city. For every beverage you order at cafés and bars in Granada, you are given free tapas. It may not be necessary to eat a full meal, but here are some fabulous places to try if the free tapas isn’t enough!
