The new guidebook, "Granada Tapas Tour - 100 tapas bars in Granada" is for sale at an increasing number of outlets throughout Granada province.

The book features 72 of the best bars in Granada city. We map out 18 routes of 4 bars each and lead you by the hand from one authentic bar to the next. The book also includes 28 other bars in the wider province of Granada. These might be along the Costa Tropical, in La Alpujarra, close to the Sierra Nevada ski resort or deep in the beautiful countryside of Granada.

In Granada itself, go to Metro Books in Calle Gracia. Dave runs this shop that includes a fine selection of books in both the English and Spanish language, many of which you cannot buy elsewhere in Granada. Metro Books has the added advantage of being close to some of the best tapas bars featured in the Granada Tapas book. The full address for the shop is c/ Gracia 31 - Granada 18002. Telephone 958 261 565. E-mail metrolibros@terra.es

In Almuñécar, on the Costa Tropical, the ever friendly Nicolas and Louisa at the internet shop Zen Net can sell you the book. This shop is a haven of peace. A rare beast, an internet shop that is so quiet you can hear yourself think. Nicolas and Louisa offer a vast array of services, including language courses, translation and help with all things computer based.

In the Lecrín Valley the Granada Tapas Tour Guidebook is available at both bookshops in Durcal, at the Le Mans petrol station in Talara, at Los Naranjos restaurant in Melegis and at the offices of Lecrin Valley Property also in Melegis and right opposite the church.

In La Alpujarra you can buy the book at the information shop in the plaza of Pampineira and at the La Urdimbre shop in Capiliera.

Following on from the success and popularity of the Tapas Guidebook, we are pleased to announce the forthcoming release of two books you, the public, told us you wanted.
Gardens of Andalucia will tour both the public and private gardens of the region and will offer tips from experts and resident gardeners as to the best plants to grow in Andalucia. This will be the only book you need if you live in or visit the south of Spain and care about gardens.

Eat Granada will direct you towards the best restaurants in the province. Establishments aimed at every pocket and taste. Plush places for that special meal, the best locations for a good menu de la dia, some not to be missed tapas bars, the best places to eat that are just off the motorway and even those service stations on the autovias that serve food that is a cut above the rest.

For those who prefer a full sit down meal to tapas, a new book detailing the best restaurants across the province of Granada will be published soon by Guiri Books. It will review the value for money restaurants to be found not just in Granada city, but in villages and towns outside of the city. There are some gems out there, they just need discovering. And we have done that job for you! Our extensive research has resulted in finding the tastiest, most consistent restaurants in which you can enjoy a meal. We feature each menu on offer, meet the owners and staff and offer you suggestions as to what to eat and drink in all the establishments. This will be no advertising driven book. No restaurant will "buy" its way into the pages of "Eat Granada." It is true that one man's meat is poison to another but we believe our personal, unannounced visits have unearthed some fine centres of culinary delight in Granada. Restaurants to suit all pockets and tastes. Stay tuned to www.guiribooks.blogspot.com for precise publication dates.
