Granada T- Bridges

Granada was first settled by native tribes in the prehistoric period, and was known as Ilbyr. When the Romans colonised southern Spain, they built their own city here and called it Illibris. The Arabs, invading the peninsula in the 8th century, gave it its current name of Granada. It was the last Muslim city to fall to the Christians in 1492, at the hands of Queen Isabel of Castile and her husband Ferdinand of Aragon

Alhambra T- Bridges

One of the most brilliant jewels of universal architecture is the Alhambra, a series of palaces and gardens built under the Nazari Dynasty in the 14th C. This mighty compound of buildings – including the summer palace called Generalife, with its fountains and gardens - stands at the foot of Spain's highest mountain range, the Sierra Nevada, and overlooks the city below and the fertile plain of Granada.

1.TAPAS TOUR – LA RUTA DE TAPAS


Tapas Tours T- Bridges

“Independent travelling. Exploring. City breaks. Seeing the “real” parts of Spain. Sampling authentic Spanish tapas, not typical tourist offerings. Does this sound like what you’re looking for? Then Granada Tapas Tours can help. The idea is to show you “real” tapas bars and then you try out what you´ve learned during the rest of your trip.”

History of the Tapas

Tapas are a very characteristic part of Spanish eating and vary from region to region. Some say it was a particular King who insisted that a small piece of food (sausage, cheese, cured ham) be placed over the top of a glass of wine, effectively “covering” (in Spanish, tapando – hence the origin of the word) the drink. The snack was intended to prevent the alcohol from going straight to the consumer’s head! Others claim the tapa was born because of the workers who started early in the morning and needed a quick snack to keep them going until lunch! Whatever the real origin, from its very humble beginning, the custom spread quickly throughout Spain

WHAT WE DO?

Nowadays, tapas tend to be a small snack, to be eaten before going on to have a meal or going home to eat with the family. Taking into account that many Spanairds don’t have lunch until around 3pm, a quick tapa at 1pm is a good way to stave off the hunger pangs. However, it is also common practice to replace lunch/dinner and go out for tapas – after 3 or 4 rounds you won’t need a full meal afterwards!


TAPAS GRANADA TOUR

Granada Tapas

In Granada, the tapa system is even more unique! Forget what you’ve experienced in Seville or Madrid or Málaga where the tapas have to be bought — this is Granada style. And don’t think you’ll just be offered a tiny plate of olives or some crisps on a plate… You will be pleasantly surprised when I show you what’s on offer!

There are 2 systems: 1) A set tapa comes with each round OR 2) Choose your tapa each time

You can sample either style so you get the best of both worlds!

3.SacromonteSupported bythe Daphne Programmeof the European Union

.


For many centuries it has been populated by the gypsy community. The rock structure in this area is a mixture of clay and round pebbles which are soft enough to excavate and cohesive and stable enough to form the walls of a cave. Consequently most of the dwellings in this area are caves.

- The mixture of Arabic influences combined with many centuries of gypsy influence eventually created flamenco. Some of the best flamenco performers turned their caves into public places where visitors could come to hear and see flamenco in its natural habitat. Knowadays the caves have electricity and modern plumbing although these modern facilities have only been introduced in the the last 50 years or so. The interior of the flamenco caves are normally adorned with copperware and photos of previous moments of glory. On either side of the caves there are many chairs for the visitors to sit on.

Despite their humble origins, the caves of the Sacromonte achieved international fame and they were visited by many artists from Hollywood, nobel prize winners, royalty and famous politicians as well as thousands of flamenco enthusiasts from all over the world. It was a rich environment for the development of flamenco artists.

in the Sacromonte you can see authentic flamenco performances which maintain their original, indigenous colour and character and they still manage to attract the interest of the many visitors to Granada who wish to see flamenco performances in the original setting..
