Granada is a city touched by the spell of history, a place where the splendor of the last Muslim kingdom of the Iberian Peninsula, the Nasrid dynasty, can be breathed in every corner.At the foot of the imposing peaks of the Sierra Nevada, its jewel, the Alhambra, watches over a labyrinth of white streets in the Albaicín and the flamenco caves of Sacromonte.Granada is not just a destination, it is a sensory journey through dream palaces, secret cármenes, intense flavors and the deep art of flamenco.

Tips for Adventure

Find an Alternative Viewpoint

The Mirador de San Nicolás is incredible but it is overcrowded. For an equally good and quieter view, go up to the Mirador de San Miguel Alto or look for the Carmen de la Victoria.

Visit a Carmen

The Cármenes are the traditional houses of the Albaicín with a garden and orchard. Many are private, but some like the Carmen de los Mártires can be visited and are an oasis of peace.

Understanding 'Mala Follá'

It's a kind of local humor, a kind of apathy or dry irony. Don't take it personally, it's not bad manners, it's a hallmark.

Horarios de Comida

The schedules are late. Lunch is around 2:00-3:30 p.m., and dinner doesn't start before 9:00 p.m. The siesta (shop closures from 2:00 p.m. to 5:00 p.m.) is still common.

Vigila tus Pertenencias

In areas of high tourist concentration such as the Mirador de San Nicolás, the Cathedral or on buses, keep an eye on bags and wallets.

Ofrecimiento de Romero

It is common for gypsy women in tourist areas to offer you a sprig of rosemary 'for good luck' and then insistently ask you for money. Decline politely.
