Would you like to discover one of the most beautiful cities in Spain? It is only one hour drive. Do not hesitate to spend one of your holiday days visiting Granada. You won’t regret it!
Granada is well known for the Alhambra, but it is not its unique wonder. Granada has beautiful and charming corners where you will want the time to stop, so don’t worry if you couldn’t buy tickets for the Alhambra; you still can have an unforgettable day!
So here you have some ideas of what to do in Granada:
- Enjoy the free access areas of the Alhambra. (For more info, have a look at this post: https://www.grandesvillas.com/i-want-to-see-the-alhambra-but-i-havent-booked-the-tickets-on-time/ )
Go for a walk across “El Paseo de los Tristes”
Go to “El Mirador de San Nicolás”: it is a lookout from which you can enjoy stunning views to the Alhambra. There are usually flameno singers and guitarist. Authentic Andalusian experience.
Have a walk through “Albaycín”, the muslim square.
Visit the cathedral and the Capilla Real, where the Catholic Kings are buried.
Visit the caves in El Sacromonte (not in the night). You will enjoy amazing views and will discover a different concept of house.
Go to “San Miguel Alto”: it is another lookout, much less touristic, where you can enjoy views to the whole city. Seeing the sunset there is a magic experience. (This lookout is quite high so the walk there is quite hard. I recommend you to hang bus number N9 at Avenida de La Constitución, 4 for nine stops. Get off at Andarax - Cármenes De San Miguel and walk 250 meters)
