Meet your friendly local guide in Granada's Plaza del Carmen, and then set off on your 2.5-hour walking tour around the city to discover its best tapas bars. The country's obsession with small-plate meals is believed to have originated in the 13th century when King Alfonso decreed it law that bars must serve food with drinks. The bar owners got more elaborate with their offerings over the years, prompting the tantalizing tapas scene that is prevalent in Granada today.

The exact itinerary will be decided on the day of your tour by your guide, but you can be sure that you'll visit at least four of Granada's best tapas bars to feast on small plates of specialities like pisto (Spanish ratatouille), croquettas (fried and breadcrumbed rolls of mashed potatoes or minced meat), paella and a Spanish omelette. Alongside your food, enjoy wine, beer or soft drinks (one glass at each bar) to enjoy tapas as the Spanish do!

On your way from bar to bar, your guide will point out some of Granada's top cultural sites that give the city its well-deserved reputation. See picturesque Plaza Nueva - one of the city's oldest square - and Santa Ana Church with its striking Mudejar-style architecture. Walk past the Royal Chancery of Granada, which was one of Spain's first courts, and stroll through Bib Rambla Square seeing its bustling sidewalk restaurants and lively bars.
