Granada was ruled by the Moors from 1238 until 1492, when Ferdinand and Isabella seized the city for Christian Spain. The city plays up its Moorish roots, with plenty of kebab stands, baklava shops and "teterias" (tea houses), complete with hookahs. In the evenings, locals head to the many tapas bars, where small plates of food are still served complimentary with a glass of wine or beer.
