C/ Pedro Antonio for newcomers then progress onto C/ Elvira for bars and more free drinks vouchers! Also c/ Elvira for Tapas. Tea Rooms in Albaizin a must! Los Italianos on Gran Via for the best ice cream! Il Gondoliere off Recogidas for award winning pizza. Crepe shop around the corner from Il Gondoliere, yummy!
