| Granada Andalusia´s second most important city reflects the blue hues of the not-so-distant Mediterranean and the snow-capped Sierra Nevada mountains. Its many archaeological ruins are witness to the diversity and depth of its past. The city is still today proudly marked by centuries during which it was under Moorish influence. A city that has been the inspiration to poets, painters, musicians and intellectuals from around the world. 
Granada reached its pinnacle of splendor in the 14th century with the
construction of the world-renowned Palaces and Gardens of the Alhambra
and Generalife, both of which have been designated World Heritage Monuments.
But there is more: the impressive fortress, the secluded Royal Chapel,
the Audience Palace, the Bullring, the Arabic Walls, the Red Tower,…
Special attention should also be paid to the city's oldest districts:
the Albayzin and the Sacromonte. Arabic tradition vibrates to the rhythmic
clapping and sounds of the gypsy guitar. All this and its charming citizen
make Granada a city of mythical poetic serenity.Important Due to the distances and high costs involved in this trajectory for a private car/guide, we recommend you join a group tour to Granada. The tour bus will pick you up at your hotel in Seville, early morning, and arrive in Granada two hours later. You will visit the Alhambra and have time to walk around the city a bit before the return trip. These tours are recommendable as the groups are small and they include a guided visit to the Alhambra and return trip. Another option is to travel independently and stay overnight at a hotel in Granada. Suggested tours: Private visit to the Alhambra (better in the afternoon) and stroll on your own through the Albayzin district. |
At your leisure: Aside from the Albayzin district, we recommend the Mirador de San Nicolas, the Cuevas del Sacromonte (flamenco), the Arab baths, Calle Elvira, the Calle Teterias and the area around Plaza Nueva.

Best time to go: All year round, but be aware that Granada is close to the Sierra Nevada Ski Resort and during the winter months the temperature can dip to around zero at night. During high season (summer months), it is a very popular tourist destination, so, expect crowds. Where to eat: In addition to the restaurants of the Albayzin district, like the Mirador de Morayma, there are many bars and taverns with patios, the perfect spots to try local tapas, such as the embutido (sausage) de Alpujarras, cheeses and other delights, all as you sip a glass of flavorful wine.
