The menu changes constantly with the season and what is available, but is consistently a local favorite dining spot.
While visiting Granada, the Alhambra Palace is a must see. This remarkable building is a palace, fortress and collection of exquisite gardens dating back to the 700s during the Moorish rule over the territory. This is one of the most visited monuments in Spain and should be pre-booked in advance as it sees around 8,000 visitors daily at $15 a person.
