Plaza Bibarrambla
The Plaza Bibarrambla is the heart of Granada's social life, full of café tables, leafy lime trees and flower stalls.
Just a few steps from the Cathedral, it was once the point of entry to the lower city, through the great gate which gave the plaza its name: bib (in Arabic bab, corrupted to bib in Spanish) rambla (strand, or riverside. The Gate of the Strand, also known as the Arco de las Orejas - Gate of the Ears, because the ears of thieves were nailed to it in the Middle Ages - was dismantled a century ago, but later reconstructed in the Alhambra forest.
There is nothing more pleasant than to have a late morning breakfast of chocolate and churros at a table in the Plaza Bibarrambla.
