Chikito
Back in the 1920s, this was the location of the Alameda café, where Federico García Lorca and his artistic circle El Rinconcillo used to meet. A statue of Lorca seated at a corner table marks the spot. The atmosphere seems little changed from those days, and although you’ll find tourists, you’ll also find elderly locals propping up the bar, not least because it still serves generous portions of free tapas. The restaurant offers all the Granada classics: snails, fava beans with ham, and its own version of tortilla del Sacromonte, a potato omelete which includes lamb’s brains and testicles. The walls are covered with photos of famous guests, from current king Felipe VI to Maradona.
