Granada: Tapas Crawl - All included
Enjoy the most delicious traditional food in Granada as you travel around 4 of the city's best tapas bars for a unique tasting experience.
Plato Alpujarreno is the Sierra Nevada mountain platter of fried eggs, chorizo, morcilla, jamon Trevelez, papas a lo pobre and pisto, plated together on a tin platter.
Plato Alpujarreno originates in the Las Alpujarras villages above 1,000 metres, where mountain shepherds and farmers needed a high-calorie one-platter meal. The dish is the canonical introduction to Granadina mountain cooking, with each component sourced from the Alpujarras: jamon from Trevelez at 1,500 metres, morcilla blood sausage from Pampaneira, papas from the high-altitude potato terraces. In Granada city the dish moved into restaurants on the tapeo route during the 1960s tourism boom and remains a fixture at any taberna that calls itself Granadina. Recent versions add chorizo de Sierra Nevada and substitute the lard-fried papas with olive oil from the Sierra Magina.
