1 nt in Madrid; 3 wks in Granada and Almeria

[zora]

I'm going to Spain for work at the end of March--I've got three weeks in Granada and Almeria provinces. (Alas, not headed to the "foodier" parts of Andalucia!)

So, suggestions appreciated this area--restaurants, local food producers, etc. Doesn't have to be fancy--just crazy-delicious.

[edited to take out ref to Madrid--will re-post query in dedicated Madrid thread... Mod, correct thread title if you like.]

The unfashionable but superb FM in Granada is a must that has been reviewed here.

Not exactly in Almería, but in Roquetas de Mar, Alejandro serves great seafood with a modern approach.

In Almería proper Casa Joaquín offers perfectly fried fishes and seafood.

RE: Madrid has a lot of threads about all kind of restaurants, take a look at them and come back with your queries.

Thanks, Rogelio! I'll be driving around both provinces--so out-of-town recs are just as good to know!

And I love "unfashionable but superb"--sounds perfect!

Rogelio, just wanted to say huge thanks for the Casa Joaquin recommendation! I had the best teensy garlicky clams there, and fried monkfish liver. Still one of the standouts of my trip.

Unfortunately didn't get to Alejandro or FM, but am going back to Granada next month, so can at least make sure I hit the latter.
