Guided Tapas Tasting Tour of Granada Old Town & Albaicín

Your trip back into the past begins at the deceptively named Plaza Nueva, the oldest square in Granada, and move into the mazelike streets of the oldest neighborhood in the city, Albaicín.
The Arab Quarter is full of historic buildings, bazaar-like stores lining the streets, and the beautiful calle de las teterías, the street of tea houses.
After admiring the beautiful architecture and vibrant life here, you'll get a taste of your first tapas, a surprise dish based inspired by the quarter itself.
Continue to the central marketplace, marveling at the mix of goods and produce, as you hop from tapas bar to tapas bar, tasting different local specialties like jamón asado and delicious drinks.
Once you're full of history and savory treats, you'll uncover the hidden crypts of Isabella and Ferdinand, learning about a different period of Granada's history.
End the tour in the heart of the city at a buzzing tavern, where you'll learn more about the unique pionono dessert and its history, and why locals love it so much.
