Spain Series - The Perfect Meal

Our eating experience at Spain was a hit and miss affair.  Even the concierges of the grandest of 5* hotels could send their clients to some non descript restaurants that serve vin ordinaire food but with eye watering prices.  At the Albaicin quarter, hiding away in the narrow, winding alleys of Granada, just a few twists away from the tourist track, is the San Nichols restaurant, with a grand sweep view of the Alhambra, serving the perfect meal, a reward for those die-hard tourists who eschew cafes that plague most plazas, given to serving what pass as edible food.
