Overview
Granada still serves a free tapa with almost every drink, and this tour shows you why the city eats the way it does. Over 3.5 hours with a local guide, walk from Granada Cathedral through the Alcaicería, the old Moorish silk market, and into the whitewashed lanes of the lower Albaicín, the quarter that looks out at the Alhambra.
Along the way you’ll enjoy 8+ tastings: Piononos, the city’s beloved syrup-soaked pastry, cured Alpujarra ham with vermouth, chilled Salmorejo with an Alhambra beer, and slow-cooked Rabo de Toro (oxtail stew) with Andalusian red wine, plus tapas at every stop. Between bites, hear how eight centuries of Al-Andalus and the Christian city that followed still shape what locals eat today.
Then there’s the Secret Dish. Every Secret Food Tours guest remembers it, but we’re keeping it to ourselves until it’s on your plate.

Granada’s old Moorish quarter climbs the hill opposite the Alhambra in a maze of whitewashed houses, tea houses and narrow cobbled streets. The tour ends here, where the city’s Moorish and Christian past sit side by side.
The Alhambra
30m
The red-walled palace and fortress of the Nasrid kings rises above the city and is visible from many points along the route. Your guide shares its story and how it shaped the Granada you taste today.
Paseo de los Tristes
30m
This riverside walk along the Darro sits right below the Alhambra and offers some of the best views in the city. Its name, “Walk of the Sad Ones,” comes from the funeral processions that once passed this way to the cemetery.

Dating from the 11th century, El Bañuelo is one of the oldest and best-preserved Arab bathhouses in Spain. Its star-shaped skylights show how bathing was part of daily life in Moorish Granada.
