It's 4:30 am on Friday, November 20, 2009. Sounds my alarm because I have to get to T1 El Prat in Barcelona at 6 am flight leaves Malaga at 7:10 am The arrival is scheduled for before nine o'clock. Give us a car and go straight to Dark Canyon where we expect Lorenzo.
Finally I will visit Barranco Oscuro . Programming come visit more than a month and the day has come. I am very excited and try to go as careful as possible because I know I go to the home of one of the most respected wine families in Spain. The other day in Naturala Vinis, Manuel, the alma mater of the family, I said, "I was in Africa without leaving home." Sure to climb to the nearly 1400 meters that are part of the vineyards and weather permitting, the look is lost in Africa and her imagination fly. Luckily no one imaginary journeys to the papers and asked them builds walls.
Lorenzo got a number of suggestions that are to post. A oenological and gastronomic traveled impressive Granada. Is the transmit such. I added the links to those who are intersados can make a virtual vistica.
Here goes:
In there somewhere Albayzin recommended. On the view I recommend Viewpoint Aixa or Stars of St. Nicholas . To throw some wine and chat with the owner of the Bar Kiki is at the same viewpoint. Also good for tapas the Torcuato . To eat well and quietly down the Paseo de los Tristes is the Saffron Trail .
Elvira Street, at the foot of Albayzin, it is also highly recommended. To Plaza Nueva are the classics: Castañeda , Salinas . And at the other end, near the Arc de Elvira South from Granada (many local products) and Paprika , for more leisurely lunch or dinner with a bottle of natural wine.
Towards the center there is a lot more. In the Calle Navas is La Carte des Vins and good tapas bars. A little above the Town Hall, Carmen is the shield of Castile Grill has powerful tapas. In the extension of Calle Navas, Rosario street is La Tana very good place for wine and a little higher is Ajoblanco who runs Nicholas, another wine expert. Above is another recommended place, Jaraiz. The square is Realejo Metaphor , a modern restaurant that is doing well enough to eat and enjoy more relaxation. In the Campo del Príncipe there are also several places for tapas and a very nice new site also want to bet on natural wines, called The Trasgu and the owners are very nice people.
If all goes well and I find wifi areas, I will post if brief, intense, from my phone. And this is thanks to the invaluable management, talent and skill of my partner Quique .
Salut and good wine!
