Why it’s in the log
El Higo sits in the Albaicín, Granada's old Moorish quarter, on a narrow lane well away from the city's main sightlines. It's a grill in the plain sense — meat cooked over fire, served to a crowd that's mostly local.
A 4.4 rating from over 1,600 reviews reflects a place that's built its reputation on doing one thing well rather than chasing variety.

“Grilled meat and no rush — the Albaicín crowd here isn't in a hurry, and neither should you be.”
