To visit the Park of Sciences is to enter a different world. A world where the visitor will have the knowledge of the science history on the tip of his fingers. It is easy to get to the Park of Sciences when you rent a car in Granada. There is a car park avalailable if you travel with a rental car. The Park has a permanent exhibition that it offers as interesting proposals as the Biosphere Room, where we can learn more about the human DNA or how the life in the planet began. The visitor also will be able to go inside a giant kaleidoscope in the Perception Room, to experience the wind force in the Eureka Room or to know the legacy Al-Andalus in a specific room for the history of the Spanish-Muslim state, which was a bridge between continents and cultures.

Temporary exhibitions approach to the public the day to day of sciences in a practical and didactic way, as well as interesting biological proposals and some related to the environment. There is also a place where the kids will be able to play and to experiment with science: the Explore Room.

But the Park of Sciences is not only this. The Planetarium has a capacity for 83 people and is covered by a celestial vault of 10 meters of diameter on which they project more than 7,000 stars, limit of the human sight in a clear night. In case it was not enough, an astronomical garden to follow the trajectories of the sun and the stars or a beautiful Butterfly section turns this complex in the most visited museum of Andalusia.

In order to make this experience complete, the museum has monitors and entertainers to solve any doubt the visitor may have. Besides, the arranged groups or schools could be received in an assembly hall where the general aspects and the organization of the visit can be explained.

The tapas constitute a sample of the food of the place that comes when the clients order a wineglass or a beer. Authentic food in miniature constitutes a tasty and varied alternative for informal suppers or lunches. To go to have tapas with the friends is one of the more rooted customs in the province.

The Albaicín, Campo del Principe or the Elvira Street are places where you should go by if you want to know the tapas in Granada.

The tapas are just a small sample of what the Granada cuisine offers. Throughout the centuries the creations and traditional recipes of the Jewish, Arab and Christian cultures have been merged to give way to an original and full cuisine. Thus, honey, spices and fruits are used to season and to accompany meats and fishes, providing tasty dishes like the lamb with apples, gachas with honey, the chicken with almonds or the trout with grenades.
