The restaurant Damasqueros won the competition with a tapas of chickpeas, and the landlord received his body weight in extra virgin olive oil and a jamón! There were all sorts of different types of food on offer, including vegetables, savoury pastries, tapas elaborated with wine and croquettes.The judges based their decision on different aspects of the event; presentation, taste, ingredients from Granada, the quality of service and general feel of the establishment.

On the Tapas Tour!

Every week Mester Spanish Language Courses in Granada offers to all of its students a Tapas tour of the city to try some of the best tapas available. Tapas are a big part of Spanish culture and you can taste some of the best food in Tapas bars! The students always have loads of fun and it’s a nice activity to get to try some new food and get to know the other students, whether you come alone or in a group program.

The teachers show you the best places to go for food across Granada, and not only that but the school offers cookery classes too as part of the cultural programme to show you how to make some of the Tapas that you try on the Granada Tapas Tour!
