Tea and Hookah

Because of Granada's past, a lot of Muslim influences remain. In the stroll through tea street you will find jewelry, garments, scarves, tea sets, leather goods, assorted tea, and more. Also, you will pass several teterías. These quaint little shops are a relaxing place to hang out on low, cushioned benches, while smoking hookah, and drinking tea or a botado (milkshake). This tea is not like the lipton earl grey you would order at a diner in the US. Drinking tea at a teteria is worth the experience alone. Tea, in flavors like jasmine, lavander, chai, orange, peach. . way more than I can remember. . are served in ornate silver teapots. You pour the tea into small glasses painted with arabic designs (a little bigger than a double shot glass).
