Our Tapas Tour starts with a visit to a small shop with a fabulous selection of products all from the Granada region. From hot sauces produced locally to selected wines from the North of Granada. Experience the diverse, seasonal products of our region. Meet Alfredo and see him share some of Granada´s locally made specialties.
You will learn how to differentiate “Jamón Serrano”, including our worldwide famous and highly appreciated Iberian Bellota ham. Also local ham from the mountain villages of Sierra Nevada. Awaken your senses and enjoy this hand-cut delicatessen in a small, family-run specialty store.
But not only traditional tapas reflect our local gastronomy, but also the ones with a modern twist, although always inspired by autochthonous ingredients and authentic recipes. A good example is the mouth-watering Segureño Lamb tapa of our friend Nicolas at La Milagrosa. Made with 100% Granada ingredients, Local Olive Oil, Lamb and tomatoes.
Throughout the whole activity you will be guided by a member of our team, a Food Sherpa, an expert in our local culture. A person with a deep knowledge of the best-kept foodie secrets of Granada.
