Teahouses in Granada - Best Tea Rooms that Offer Traditional Arabic Flavours

There is a narrow pedestrian street in Granada that appears to be exclusively dedicated to Arab teahouses (tea shops) and shops. It is Calderería Nueva in the Albaicín.


Calle Elvira is another area known for its teahouses and tapas bars. There are also some near the Bañuelo (Carrera del Darro).
