As a city in which people love to be out and about and whose friendly people simply revel in a good chat, there are tons of places throughout Granada to sip on a steaming "café con leche" or treat your sweet tooth to a tasty confection. Plus, throughout the traditionally Islamic Albaicín neighborhood- especially the streets Caldería Nueva and Caldería Vieja- there are tons of atmospheric "teterías" (tea rooms) where you can try out a wide range of typical Arabic infusions, compliments of Granada's famed traditional Islamic culture.
