Tapas is a small appetiser and a great way to try something new. Bars use them to promote certain dishes. If you’ve found something really tasty and want more, order a ración. A media ración is OK for two people, while a group of three or four should better order a ración entera.

Tortilla de Sacromonte is a famous local dish originating from the Sacromonte neighbourhood in Granada. The authentic recipe includes diced veal brains and bull's testicles, which are mixed with beaten eggs. Try it if you dare!

Granada has numerous viewpoints, of which Mirador San Nicolas is the most well-known. Still, Mirador San Miguel Alto is worth your attention as the highest viewpoint in the city. It offers a unique opportunity to see the famous Alhambra from above. The best time to come here is sunset, as the sun casts a golden hue over the fortress. After that, you can see the city lights go on. The climb may seem steep, but the panorama is worth the effort!
