Visit the revolving restaurant in Granada for a whole lot more than just food"Enjoy the total views without having to move." Actually it is the only revolving restaurant in the whole of Spain! And the whole thing was a great experience. We sat at our table on the seventh floor of The Forum and the panoramic view of Granada passed us by in a full 360 degrees rotation.
its view from the seventh floor We saw the Vega, the Sierra Nevada mountains, the Science Park and the City itself - all without us having to move even a muscle. And because all the exterior walls are made of glass it was easy not to miss anything! In fact the whole experience was wonderful. But I do have some slight reservations.... I'd often wondered how these giratorio restaurants work... Well this one actually has a revolving floor. There are eight rotary engines which power the floor as it moves around. And it travels so slowly that it takes an hour and a half to make a full revolution. Looking through the windows of the restaurant the movement is hardly perceptible.. But when you look at the edge of the floor and how it moves relative to the wall, the speed of rotation can seem totally different, as this video shows.
The floor rotates deceptively quickly at the Revolving Restaurant in Granada
For anyone, like us, wanting to go to a restaurant for a special occasion, then it was worth every penny, even if just for the occasion. And if you have a mind to, you could have a main course and drinks for around 20 euros. Having said that, there are also sofas and seats available for anyone who just wants to go for lunch, a coffee or an aperitif, and who want to enjoy the views at the same time.... And so, don't let the price put you off. Go along and enjoy the views of Granada while sitting in wonderful comfort... maybe I will see you there, because I will definitely be back!
