Overall

Do not be put off by negative reports of the Albaizin. Certainly there is more testosterone in the air than traffic fumes but on the whole everyone is very well behaved. Visited Granada January 06. Weather fine though chilly in the mornings and evenings. We stayed in the Albaizin(Moorish Quarter) and felt perfectly safe. We can heartily recommend two particular watering holes; Lazeta restaurant, a fusion of Morroccan and Spanish cuisine and Cafateria Eurosalon, where Antonio serves the best tapas in Granada. The prices are right and in both places you are made to feel like old friends. Take a 31 or 32 bus from Plaza Nueva and alight at Plaza Salvador, cost .95 euro each. Walk back round the corner into Placeta Aliatar, walk uphill and Lazeta is 200 metres on the right. Antonio's Cafeteria is a further 200 metres uphill on the left at the corner of Agua. You will not be disappointed if you are prepared to mix. In one week we met a professional Flamenco guitarist, a professional Flamenco dancer and a retired Picador. Not bad for your average lunchtime drink!
