How about some tempting al fresco eating? A leisurely drink or a meal in the open air always tastes special. Let’s discover some of the bars and restaurants in the Lecrín Valley that have summertime terraces.

 Summertime Terraces for Tempting al Fresco Eating

Los Naranjos del Valle in Melegís, just over a kilometre from Casa Tagomago. A good option and not just in the summer. This terrace has wonderful views over the Valley. Ideal for families as it overlooks the restaurant’s children’s playground. Food is traditional with a modern twist. Service is excellent and friendly.

Bodega Hacienda Señorío de Nevada in Villamena about 15 minutes drive from Casa Tagomago. Visit the bodegas before enjoying a meal in the modern restaurant. For  tempting al fresco eating the terrace, with views of Sierra Nevada, is a luxury on warm summer nights. Their wines are top quality so don’t forget to visit their shop.

Nautical Centre Valle de Lecrín is a recent venture based on the shores of the Beznar Reservoir, ten minutes from Casa Tagomago. This terrace is quite different, offering a rustic, chill out style with a small bar and the occasional open air concert in the summer. All kinds of water sports are available for you to try.

The roof terrace with its loungers, table and chairs is perfect for a sundowner…or sunbathing. Both have magnificent views over the Valley to Sierra Nevada beyond. Not feeling like cooking? Order a take away from the local restaurant and bask in the tranquility.

Watch this space, more terraces will probably be opening up soon. We’ll try and keep you up to date! Don’t forget all the open air terraces to be enjoyed in Granada itself or the beach bars on the Costa Tropical. Both only 30 minutes drive from Casa Tagomago.
