About Ávila Tapas II
Ávila Tapas II is a Granada institution where the jamón asado tapa has earned legendary status among locals and visitors alike. Tucked into a small, high-energy bar in the centro, it delivers the classic Granada tapas experience: generous, flavourful plates paired with excellent beer and wine selections. The kitchen excels across a rotating menu—from crispy fried fish and house-made croquetas to albóndigas and paparrones—while each drink comes with a complimentary tapa you can choose from an extensive list. Service is the real standout: staff move with practiced urgency even when the bar is packed to capacity, ensuring quick, attentive care despite constant crowds. The space is deliberately intimate and standing-room is the norm, but that's part of the charm—a proper Granada bar where you eat standing, shoulder-to-shoulder, for €10–20 and leave satisfied. Wheelchair-accessible entrance and facilities accommodate all visitors.
