Granada hosts the Third Summit of the European Political Community on October 5. World leaders from different countries have traveled to the Nasrid city to meet with their continental counterparts and propose possible solutions to current geopolitical problems.such as the War in Ukraine, the consequences derived from Brexit or the search for new partners within the framework of the European Union.

The kings of Spain, hosts of the forum, and the Government have prepared a guided tour of one of the most touristic enclaves in the country: the Alhambra in Granada. In fact, the political events will take place in the Palace of Charles V.
To close the day, all the political leaders in attendance – an estimated fifty – and the invited authorities will be able to taste the dinner that the chef Paco Morales has prepared them. The chef, manager of the restaurant Noor in Córdoba and decorated with two Michelin stars, will cook a gala menu in which the Government has invested 139,789.32 euros.
Of the dishes that will make up the pass, only one has emerged: the karim. This liquid cream is one of the star foods that Morales offers in his restaurant and, in fact, on the establishment’s Instagram account you can see some videos that show part of its preparation. The soup, similar to salmorejo, always has an accompaniment, although this may vary depending on the time of year. Herring caviar, apple cubes, autumn melon, pistachio or Saharan hedgehog fulfill their function as a typical dressing.
Obviously, to maintain the personal touch, the chef will take all his characteristic tableware with nods to Muslim culture from his restaurant in Córdoba to the Parador in Granada. According to him Granada Today, A team of 80 people will be needed so that the entire menu can be carried out with the greatest of success.
