In most bars, you don\u2019t get to choose what\u2019s served. There\u2019s also a progression: the first ones are light and become increasingly hearty, so it\u2019s best to order small drinks to keep the rounds going. The peak times are from 1.30 pm and 8.30 pm.<\/p>\n\n<h3>Which tapas bars in Granada are closed at the weekends?<\/h3>\n<p>Taberna La Tana, in the Realejo district, is closed on Saturdays and Sundays, which surprises many visitors as it is one of the most highly recommended venues. Saint Germain is closed on Mondays and Sundays. Los Diamantes, on Calle Navas, has split opening hours from 12.30 pm to 4.00 pm and from 8.00 pm to 11.30 pm. Bodegas Casta\u00f1eda, the Antigua Bodega Casta\u00f1eda and T. Catedral are open every day.<\/p>\n\n<h3>Where\u2019s the best area for tapas in Granada?<\/h3>\n<p>It depends on the atmosphere. Calle Navas is the most convenient and central place to start, although it\u2019s also the busiest. El Realejo offers a local atmosphere with a character all of its own, whilst the Albaic\u00edn is the place to go for a leisurely meal with views of the Alhambra. For an everyday tapas experience without the tourists, try the area around the bullring and the Pedro Antonio de Alarc\u00f3n neighbourhood.<\/p>\n\n<h3>Are there two Bodegas Casta\u00f1eda in Granada?<\/h3>\n<p>Yes, and they\u2019re often confused because they have almost identical names and are very close to one another. Bodegas Casta\u00f1eda is on Calle Almireceros and has over 11,000 reviews; the Antigua Bodega Casta\u00f1eda is on Calle Bodegoncillos, has a better rating and offers a set menu. Both are open every day.<\/p>\n\n<h3>What goes into a Sacromonte omelette?<\/h3>\n<p>Lamb\u2019s brains and testicles, served with vegetables. This is the most iconic tapa in Granada\u2019s culinary tradition, and it\u2019s worth knowing what it\u2019s made of before ordering it, as its name doesn\u2019t give it away and it bears no resemblance to a Spanish omelette.<\/p>\n\n<h3>Which is the oldest tapas bar on Calle Navas?<\/h3>\n<p>Los Diamantes, at number 28, has been open since 1942. It specialises in fried fish and seafood and has a rating of 4.5 out of more than 5,300 reviews. It fills up quickly, so it\u2019s best to arrive before opening time to secure a table or simply take a seat at the bar.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<script type=\"application\/ld+json\">{\"@context\":\"https:\/\/schema.org\",\"@graph\":[{\"@type\":\"BreadcrumbList\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/www.visitanddo.com\/en\/where-to-eat-in-granada-the-best-places-of-tapas\/#breadcrumb\",\"itemListElement\":[{\"@type\":\"ListItem\",\"position\":1,\"name\":\"Home\",\"item\":\"https:\/\/www.visitanddo.com\/en\/\"},{\"@type\":\"ListItem\",\"position\":2,\"name\":\"Granada\",\"item\":\"https:\/\/www.visitanddo.com\/granada\/\"},{\"@type\":\"ListItem\",\"position\":3,\"name\":\"Where to eat in Granada\"}]},{\"@type\":\"ItemList\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/www.visitanddo.com\/en\/where-to-eat-in-granada-the-best-places-of-tapas\/#bares\",\"name\":\"Tapas bars in Granada\",\"numberOfItems\":7,\"itemListElement\":[{\"@type\":\"ListItem\",\"position\":1,\"item\":{\"@type\":\"Restaurant\",\"name\":\"The Diamonds\",\"address\":{\"@type\":\"PostalAddress\",\"streetAddress\":\"C.

In most bars, you don\u2019t get to choose what\u2019s served. There\u2019s also a progression: the first ones are light and become increasingly hearty, so it\u2019s best to order small drinks to keep the rounds going. The peak times are from 1.30 pm and 8.30 pm.\"}},{\"@type\":\"Question\",\"name\":\"Which tapas bars in Granada are closed at the weekends?\",\"acceptedAnswer\":{\"@type\":\"Answer\",\"text\":\"Taberna La Tana, in the Realejo district, is closed on Saturdays and Sundays, which surprises many visitors as it is one of the most highly recommended venues. Saint Germain is closed on Mondays and Sundays. Los Diamantes, on Calle Navas, has split opening hours from 12.30 pm to 4.00 pm and from 8.00 pm to 11.30 pm. Bodegas Casta\u00f1eda, the Antigua Bodega Casta\u00f1eda and T.

Calle Navas is the most convenient and central place to start, although it\u2019s also the busiest. El Realejo offers a local atmosphere with a character all of its own, whilst the Albaic\u00edn is the place to go for a leisurely meal with views of the Alhambra. For an everyday tapas experience without the tourists, try the area around the bullring and the Pedro Antonio de Alarc\u00f3n neighbourhood.\"}},{\"@type\":\"Question\",\"name\":\"Are there two Bodegas Casta\u00f1eda in Granada?\",\"acceptedAnswer\":{\"@type\":\"Answer\",\"text\":\"Yes, and they\u2019re often confused because they have almost identical names and are very close to one another. Bodegas Casta\u00f1eda is on Calle Almireceros and has over 11,000 reviews; the Antigua Bodega Casta\u00f1eda is on Calle Bodegoncillos, has a better rating and offers a set menu. Both are open every day.\"}},{\"@type\":\"Question\",\"name\":\"What goes into a Sacromonte omelette?\",\"acceptedAnswer\":{\"@type\":\"Answer\",\"text\":\"Lamb\u2019s brains and testicles, served with vegetables. This is the most iconic tapa in Granada\u2019s culinary tradition, and it\u2019s worth knowing what it\u2019s made of before ordering it, as its name doesn\u2019t give it away and it bears no resemblance to a Spanish omelette.\"}},{\"@type\":\"Question\",\"name\":\"Which is the oldest tapas bar on Calle Navas?\",\"acceptedAnswer\":{\"@type\":\"Answer\",\"text\":\"Los Diamantes, at number 28, has been open since 1942. It specialises in fried fish and seafood and has a rating of 4.5 out of more than 5,300 reviews. It fills up quickly, so it\u2019s best to arrive before opening time to secure a table or simply take a seat at the bar.\"}}]}]}<\/script>\n<\/div><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Granada is one of the last cities in Spain where tapas are still free: You order a drink and it comes with a free side dish.
