Albaicín's winding cobblestone streets take you straight back to medieval Moorish Granada.

Duck into traditional teahouses for mint tea or discover ancient Arab baths tucked between craft workshops selling ceramics and textiles.

The well-preserved Corral del Carbón offers a glimpse into 14th-century Islamic design that history buffs will love. The area buzzes with traditional tapas bars where drinks come with free small plates of local specialities. Boutique hotels in converted palaces and convents provide authentic Andalusian charm. Most attractions are within easy walking distance on pedestrianised streets, though cobblestones call for comfortable shoes.
Perched on a hillside above Granada, Sacromonte captivates with its unique cave dwellings carved into the rocky terrain. This historic Roma enclave vibrates with the soul-stirring sounds of authentic flamenco performances held in intimate cave venues. Visitors can explore the fascinating Sacromonte Abbey or learn about traditional gypsy culture at the Cuevas del Sacromonte Museum while enjoying spectacular views of the Alhambra. Winding cobblestone paths lead to family-run tapas bars serving local specialities in this walkable area. The limited bus service means comfortable shoes are essential for navigating the steep terrain. Cave hotels offer unique accommodation with modern amenities and traditional charm for travellers seeking an authentic cultural experience.

I loved everything about Granada. It felt very safe - day and night - and was very clean and walkable. The Alhambra, Generalife and Mirador St Nicholas are all must do's Granada. The Green tourist Tren (bus!) is a great way to get your bearings.

The Alhambra is a must see but get your tickets well in advance of your visit so you don't pay over the odds for a guided tour visit. Take comfortable walking shoes but there is also good transport if you don't fancy getting in the steps.

Granada is a beautiful city with many cultures converging into a relatively small place. It was clean and felt very safe. We walked miles daily and enjoyed all the sights, food and shopping the center of the city had to offer.

Granada is one of our favorite cities. People are friendly, great dining options, good shopping. Like the large variety of cultural things to see in a small walkable area. The Alhambra was amazing.

The Alhambra is the shining star of this city and well worth the trip. The old town was fine, but does not favourably compare with some of its well-known rivals (Seville, Malaga, Cordoba).

Lovely city, very hilly but a great tourist train to show the different areas. Lovely little traditional tapas cafes. If you want to visit any attractions, then pre-book in advance.
"Ana and alejandro are exceptional hosts. Make you feel welcome and treat you with warmth and respect. I was impressed. Gave directions ice glass for soda ,gave suggestions, heated food. Very caring."
"We had an amazing time and got the room with the view of the Alhambra. The breakfast was really good also. Very clean. Photo is the view from the room.
Please know that room is on the 5th floor and the elevator only goes up to the 3rd floor. So you will have to carry your luggage to that room if you book it. Also there is no laundry room. You’ll have to walk your laundry about a half of a mile away to do it. "
"A nice hotel, within reasonable walking distance (though with a bit of a climb) to the "Albaicin" area. If you're driving a car, then the hotel's underground on-site parking is a must (though it's a bit cramped).
As is usual for Spain, there's no real coffee in the room. ('Instant coffee' is not coffee!)"
