A Plate With A View: Chikito, Granada
Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.

Chef Antonio Torres is rightly proud of his presentation, but there's substance too. Start with the ensalada de pimientos asadas (grilled pepper salad, fortified with Cantabrian anchovies). The meat speciality sounds forbidding (rabo de toro: braised oxtail stew), but is succulent in its rich, subtle sauce. The bacalao (fried cod, garnished with garlic and red pepper) breaks into flakes at the slightest touch. Finish with pinononos - vanilla and caramel roulades spiced with aniseed.
THE VIEW
The Batallas fountain across the square is a popular meeting point for city folk. A little further on is the magnificent Renaissance cathedral.

A typical three-course meal, including service and a decent table wine, is around €35 (£25) per head.
