Anyone planning to visit Granada this year will need to consider what type of accommodation he or she wants to stay at.
  There are many hotels, bed and breakfasts, hostels and villas to stay at.
  But another important consideration is what type of food you would like to try while you are here.
Some visitors to Granada like to eat "safely".
They will choose beefburgers, egg and bacon, salads and spaghetti, rice or noodles - foods they are familiar with.
But in my opinion the best way to enjoy a holiday to the full is to make a point of trying the local traditional dishes.
One of my favourite Granadian starters is "habas con jamon" (baby broad beans with ham).
And if I am feeling particularly hungry I will also ask for it to be served with a fried egg on top! When I lived in England, the broadbeans were traditionally eaten large and full grown.
Needless to say, the beans tended to be hard.
In Granada, the soft and tender baby broad beans are tasty and succulent.
My second course would be "rabo de toro" (oxtail).
When cooked to perfection the meat virtually falls off the bone and has a warming glutinous texture.
This is normally served with some vegetables and a small amount of sauce.
Finally, for desert, I must confess that my favourite would be an "Almendrado" (a chocolate and almond covered ice cream lolly on a stick).
 Granada is the only city I have experienced where the restaurants will happily serve a regular ice cream lollipop as a desert.
 If no ice cream lollies are available I would instead have something that includes ice cream and chocolate.
To drink, I would have a bottle of spring water "del tiempo" (served at room temperature) together with a bottle of the house wine.
The wines in Granada are delicious and I have never yet had a house wine that didn't complement the delicious meal.
Having eaten to the full, I would then wander back to by accommodation in Granada for a siesta before setting out again to explore this wonderful city.
