Spain Trip #27: Granada Best Bakeries (and Dunkin' Donuts!)

Rob outside the Granada Dunkin

In this blog about our trip to Spain we're showing you around the small and beautiful town of Granada, home of the Moor palace called Alhambra (which we'll get to in a later blog). This time, however, we want to focus on the best bakeries... and there were a lot of them! and we're tossing in some Granada Quick Facts, too. 

WE FOUND A DUNKIN'! 
  Not only that, we also found the only Dunkin' Donuts (our favorite), so I (Rob) was really happy to have great coffee. Spanish coffee is just too strong for me. When you can stand a spoon in the middle of the cup of coffee and it doesn't move, that's too strong (okay, I'm exaggerating here). Of course, I was so excited I not only had an extra large black coffee, but had to have a Boston Cream donut as well. Tom enjoyed his Dunkin' unsweetened Iced Tea, too.

  The shop was incredibly clean, and it had a rounded marble countertop in the middle of the store (where the employee, coffee and donuts were in the store's center (behind the counter).

PANADERIA BOLLERIA "La Romanilla" - was an excellent bakery. "Panderia" means "bakery." 
It's located at 17 Calle Silleria, Granada. There's an overwhelming number of pasteries, and very inexpensive. Tom got a pretzel-like treat and I got a sugary, chocolate treat.   

  It's located in a square just south of the Cathedral.

BAKERY CAFES - There was a bakery/cafe on the main street where our hotel was located,where we enjoyed a nice lunch with Dan, Scott and Doug, but I can't recall the name. I did, however, remember to take a picture of all the pastries in the front window after we left!

QUICK FACTS ABOUT GRANADA: 
1) There are 3 rivers running near or through the city
2) Laundromats: The Way to Go. It is much cheaper (7 Euro for all of our clothes -2 people -from 4 days ) to do your laundry at a laundromat than it is to have a hotel do it, who charged 7 euro for 1 shirt! 
3) The "Paseo de los Tristes" is the "Walk of the Sad" - In earlier times this road was known for the way to the cemetery and where they would carry their deceased loved ones. Goes near the Alhambra Palace.
5) Cypress Trees are common. .
