Oh summer...oh...ice cream

Suddenly it's summer here and summer in Granada rhymes with ice cream...but not any kind of ice cream. The true connaisseur goes to Los Italianos, calle Reyes Catolicos, simply because they're the best !

yo tambien quiero un helado

Can someone explain why pomegranate ice cream doesn't exist in Granada ?



Have a lovely week end !

I have been craaaaving ice cream and your selections sound delicious! What a shop too! I was just telling my husband that I want to buy an ice cream machine so that I can finally try all those recipes I've been collecting over the years. Have another lovely weekend in Spain.

Hi Lala,

Make mine a double! And to think that I've been ignoring one of my true loves, ice cream! At least I can indulge in it vicariously through your delicious post. Lately I've been known to enjoy a granola, semi frozen yogurt, honey, and whipped cream dessert. Still I miss that 1/2 pint of Ben & Jerry's that I had been enjoying frequently.

Ciao Bella!

Great photos! This looks like a place I would visit every day if I was in the area. Just as well :) I love pistachio gelato also! You pose a very good question there at the end.

Hola Lala! Estás muy guapa toda de blanco! Hace calor en Granada? It is soooo hot here in Mallorca... feels like it is August already!

My mouth is watering! I have to admit that I went to Los Italianos almost every single day when I spent a summer in Granada. Sometimes I went twice a day. : )

Have a wonderful weekend!

Lala, What a wonderful place to buy ice-cream - so traditional and old fashioned. I am glad you had such a delicious treat - make sure you go back for another one this weekend, xv.
ps - Why isn't there pomegranate ice cream? I love pomegranate - and I have never seen that flavour either, xv.

I like ice cream but I am not passionate about it, if you know what I mean. I will seldom seek it out, although when it is given to me, I enjoy it! I saw a recipe recently for a very simple ice cream and made it subsequently - it is delish: one tin coconut cream (not milk), a little bit less than one tin crushed pineapple, a few teaspoons of sugar to taste - blend in your blender, then use ice cream machine or simply pour into plastic container and freeze (taking it out at intervals and stirring to prevent ice crystals forming). Best eaten when it is still a little mushy and not frozen hard. Yummy.

Oh there is nothing like some delicious ice cream and a little promenade! Enjoy some for me, because it is not quite the same here (sigh)... my sons love Baskin Robbins 31 Flavors...
Happy and Joyous weekend,

Right, 'helado' and 'verano' rhyme only as 'rima asonante'. But I'll let you off :-D.

Only once at Los Italianos and my experience was not a good one. Not because of the ice cream, mind. It was because we asked for a non-dairy ice-cream for our daughter who is intolerant to dairy products and the staff did not understand our request or did not know what we meant. And we all spoke Spanish of course. The sad note of the day was that my little one was very ill, throwing up in a road near the Alhambra palace and that was the night when we were coming back to London. You can imagine the scare we got. Luckily, our daughter has a very good immune system that fought the dairy invader off. But she was poorly for the rest of the journey. So, I loved the ice cream but we have bittersweet memories of this place. Still, your photos are so full of bonheur and joie de vivre that we will give another go next time we're in town. Just not for daughter this time :-).

Greetings from london.

Oh you have heard of this one-
"I scream, you scream, we all scream for ice cream!" Only now I scream for mine from Los Italianos on Catholic Kings Road ...impossible dream?

Thanks, Lala, for the tempting visit to an ice cream paradise! <3

When I lived in el Albaicín,we used to treat ourselves - friends and pals- with a wonderful walk down Cuesta del Chaiz, down the river Darro, up to Los Italianos. Then we enjoyed our icecream cones around Las Pasiegas, La Alcaicería...

That sweet nardo and orange flowers smell invaded that time of happiness and youth.
Take advantage of the situation. Carpe diem.
