A fairly common practice among young people is called «Caidita» tapas start a path at the top of Albaycín to follow a downward path until either the Paseo de los Tristes, either Elvira street. A good start of this route may be long plaza, where who wants to can try one of the most typical and peculiar caps, snails. Highly recommend the meat sauce or crumbs, any specialty in the city.

Regarding nightlife, the offer is so wide that we can find almost any style of bar, pub or nightclub.
