Our Top 5 Guide to Granada
Granada, the beautiful, cobblestoned-but modern city hidden in the hills of southern Spain - a 45 minute drive to the beach with sand and hot sun, and at the same time a 45 minute drive in the other direction to snowy ski resorts. Fly into Granada airport itself (or more popular Malaga which is a very comfortable 1.5 hour bus ride away) and you won't need a car to spend a few days strolling the Granada streets, eating tapas, visiting the Alhambra and generally relaxing into the easy-going Spanish lifestyle that the Granainos have mastered.
We have so so much insider info for you on Granada that you'll need extra days and extra mealtimes to take advantage of it all! Check out our tips on visiting Granada so you can ensure you arrive at the ideal time of year and catch some really interesting Spanish and Andalucían festivals. Make sure to have hearty breakfast in a recommended place as you don't want to waste the most important meal of the day on a measly piece of toast and sub-par coffee. Go out for (free) tapas, eat as much tortilla and jamón as you can, soak up the sunshine while listening to a Spanish guitarist strum nearby, pop into random churches as you walk past to gape at the ornate altars and gold-leafed everything...we could go on but you'll find it all in there and we can't wait for you to experience Granada like a local!
