5 bars and nightlife spots in Albaicín. A UNESCO-listed hillside of narrow Moorish lanes, private walled gardens, and the finest views of the Alhambra anywhere in the city
The teterías on Calderería Nueva are the neighbourhood's social institution: mint tea served in ceramic pots, honey pastries, and seating that spills into the lane. Wine bars cluster at the foot of the hill near Plaza Nueva.
Local bar on Plaza Aliatar in the Albaicín. Residents drink here more than visitors do. Free tapas, cold beer, and a square that catches the last evening light.
Rooftop bar in the Albaicín with 360° views of the Alhambra and Sierra Nevada. Craft cocktails and gin-tonics from €10. Best at dusk, before the crowds.
A wine bar on the Darro riverside with a terrace facing the river and the Alhambra hillside above. Curated Spanish wines, no tourist formula, best at dusk.
Granada's oldest flamenco peña, running live shows in the Albaicín 5–10 nights a month. More intimate than Sacromonte caves and roughly half the price.
Taberna La Tana, Placeta del Agua, Albaicín: the bar Anthony Bourdain filmed for morcilla de Burgos. Open daily from 12:00; drinks from €4 include a free tapa.
