Bodegas Castañeda

Traditional tapas bar in the centre of Granada..

Bodegas Castañeda is a classic, traditional tapas bar in Granada and famous for its wines (in particular the "vermut" and "calicasas" - a powerful mixture of different wines).

It used to be one bar but was divided several years ago and there is now a bar on each side, with the bar in the street Calle Almireceros being the one which has retained most of its traditional decor with its barrels and bottles. It has a good choice of tapas and you can also order boards with a selection of cheeses, cold meats or patés.

Lovely atmosphere and great free tapas. You may have to push your way to the counter and there is little seating however well worth a visit.

I used to go here many years ago. What I liked about it most was the mix of all types of people. There were Spanish toffs in fur coats, shoe shine boys selling lumps of chocolate, foreigners, misfits, tourists, normal people, artists, musicians, oddballs etc. There was (and still is) a drink called Calicasas which is a concoction of wine, vermouth, vodka etc which was very cheap. (best to be avoided in my opinion) One day they split the bar into 2 halves with 2 owners and it still is divided so now you have 2 bars for the price of 1.
