Tapas are an essential part of Andalusian cuisine, and there’s no better place to enjoy them than Granada.<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

After all, Granada is famous for its free tapas culture! Order a drink, get a free tapa (sometimes of your choice, but not always). While this practice is somewhat common in other parts of Spain, there’s nowhere you’ll find it more widespread than in Granada. The city has some incredible food<\/a> and small plates are a great way to get a taste of it. Here are some of our all-time favorite tapas in Granada for a culinary adventure you won’t soon forget!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

1. Tortilla del Sacromonte<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Everyone loves tortilla de patatas<\/em>, the quintessential Spanish egg-and-potato omelette. Try it with a granadino <\/em>twist! The tortilla del Sacromonte <\/em>has its roots in the Sacromonte caves near the city, nowadays a popular flamenco spot. It includes some adventurous ingredients such as mutton brains and bone marrow in addition to nuts and ham. One of the most unique tapas in Granada, it may not be for the faint of heart, but we certainly recommend trying it!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2. Habas con jam\u00f3n<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Beans with ham\u2014what’s not to love? In one of the most typical tapas in Granada, tender, flavorful broad beans are cooked to perfection and mixed with melt-in-your-mouth jam\u00f3n<\/em>. This dish truly exemplifies the “less is more” concept of many Spanish dishes: you don’t need a lot of fancy ingredients to create a delicious meal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

3. Gazpacho or salmorejo<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Summer temperatures in the south of Spain can be extreme. Naturally, Andalusians have created the perfect way to cool off: chilled tomato soup! Many visitors might be familiar with gazpacho<\/em>, a blend of raw vegetables (mainly tomato) pureed into a drinkable liquid. Its lesser-known yet equally delicious cousin, salmorejo <\/em>comes from nearby C\u00f3rdoba<\/a> and is a thicker tomato pur\u00e9e perfect for soaking up with hearty bread. Both are among the best tapas in Granada to enjoy on a hot summer’s day!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Enjoy
Chunks of jam\u00f3n<\/em> and hard boiled egg provide the perfect finishing touch on this refreshing salmorejo<\/em>.<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

4. Patatas a lo pobre<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The name of this recipe might translate as “poor man’s potatoes,” but it’s incredibly rich in flavor. The name refers to the simplicity and low price of its ingredients: potatoes, parsley, peppers and garlic. They’re saut\u00e9ed to perfection and served in bars all across town as one of the most popular tapas in Granada!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

5. Jam\u00f3n de Trev\u00e9lez<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

If Spain is famous for its cured ham, jam\u00f3n de Trev\u00e9lez <\/em>is the undoubted king. No, really\u2014the Spanish royal family chose this Granada delicacy as their own private ham brand<\/a>! It hails from the picturesque village of Trev\u00e9lez in the stunning Alpujarras mountains just outside of Granada, where it’s cured to perfection at 1,400 meters above sea level. You can’t leave Granada without trying some!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Jam\u00f3n
If you only eat one thing while in Granada, make it jam\u00f3n de Trev\u00e9lez<\/em>!<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

6. Queso montefrie\u00f1o<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

This award-winning cheese is more than just one of the best tapas in Granada. It’s also an amazing gourmet gift<\/a> for the foodie in your life! This goat cheese comes from the beautiful granadino <\/em>village of Montefr\u00edo, which National Geographic named as having one of the best panoramic views in the world<\/a>. Amazing views and delicious cheese\u2014we’re in!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Delicious
We love all Spanish cheeses, but queso montefrie\u00f1o<\/em> might just be our favorite!<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

7. Alb\u00f3ndigas<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Tasty meatballs in delicious homemade sauce are a favorite all over Spain, but taste even better when served as a free tapa in Granada. Another popular variation is alb\u00f3ndigas en tomate<\/em>, or meatballs in tomato sauce. You won’t even miss the spaghetti. Use the incredible homemade bread on your table to mop up every last bit of the hearty sauce!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Alb\u00f3ndigas,
Perfectly cooked alb\u00f3ndigas en salsa<\/em> are great comfort food.<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

8. Migas<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

You might have heard the word migas <\/em>to refer to a popular Tex-Mex dish, but the Spanish food of the same name is not the same thing! While there are many different variations of migas <\/em>all over Spain, the most common type served in Andalusia might remind you of couscous. They can be prepared with a variety of different ingredients, from cured meats to fish.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Migas,
We’re always up for some hearty migas!<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

9. Remoj\u00f3n Grana\u00edno<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Another one of the best tapas in Granada for those scorching summer days, remoj\u00f3n grana\u00edno <\/em>is a simple salad made with local ingredients. Oranges, onions, hard boiled eggs, olives and codfish combine beautifully in this unique blend of flavors. It’s a perfect tribute to Granada’s Moorish past and best washed down with an ice cold Alhambra beer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

10. Croquetas<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Another all-time favorite all across Spain, croquetas <\/em>are one of the most popular tapas in Granada. Iconic tapas bar Los Manueles<\/a>, a Granada institution, is famous for their giant croquettes, but there are many other incredible places to try them as well. Whether they’re filled with jam\u00f3n<\/em>, bacalao<\/em>, vegetables or something else, they’re always undoubtedly delicious!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
