Granada for Children
With four buildings and eight interactive exhibition areas, Granada's popular Parque de
las Ciencias ( 958 13 19 00; www.parqueciencias.com ; Avenida del Mediterráneo; adult/
under 18yr €6/5; 10am-7pm Tue-Sat, 10am-3pm Sun & holidays) should keep the kids
happily absorbed for hours.
If less intellectual exertion is called for, then Parque Federico García Lorca , next to
Huerta de San Vicente Museum (Calle Virgen Blanca s/n), offers refreshing, flat open
space for both children and parents.
Eating
Granada is one of the last bastions of that fantastic practice of free tapas with every
drink, and some have an international flavour. There are also some good Moroccan
and Middle Eastern restaurants, particularly in the Albayzín. There's a revived gra-
nadino trend for teterías, most of which serve light desserts - others offer fuller
menus.
PARADOR DE GRANADA €€€
( 958 22 14 40; Calle Real de la Alhambra; mains €19-22; 8am-11pm) Even a
jaded, jilted, world-weary cynic would come over all romantic in this dreamy setting.
The Spanish food has Moroccan and French inflections and it tastes all the better
for being taken inside the Alhambra.

Tapas
(Calle Almireceros; raciones from €6) An institution and one of the oldest bars in
Granada, this place whips up traditional food in a typical bodega setting. The free
paella tapa is almost enough for a light lunch.

Moroccan
( 958 22 84 01; Cuesta Marañas 4; mains €8.50-19; from 8pm) The best Moroc-
can food in a city that is well known for its Moorish throwbacks? Recline on lavish
patterned seating, try the rich fruity tagine casseroles and make your decision.
