Granada is a very beautiful city, old and ancient architecture, with lots of history. La Alhambra is the indisputable most characteristic building of the city. Heritage left by the Arabians with its spectacular mosaics, walls, gardens and the towers. You should leave early if you don't want to queue for a long time.

The food is also very good and cheap, with just 1,50€ of a drink they give you a free tapa that goes from the most basic potatoes to big dishes like loin and stuff.

The nights are also pretty crowded, like in any other city of Spain.

The one thing I didn't like was the weather, it's suffocating! But other than that, I would repeat! :)

 

One of the Spanish cities with the best cultural heritage

Granada, located in the South of Spain, was conquered by the Arabs and they left very important architecture, such as the so well-known La Alhambra. If you have seen photos and you think it's beautiful, you can't even imagine how it's like in person.

Granada's food is also very good, with very little money you can eat a lot, as they give you a free tapa with each drink you order and depending on the bar it can be a small or large dish.

You have a lot of things to do, just organize your time and enjoy the stay!
