One of my favourite places in the world!

This city has everything. Bars, Restaurants, History, Exploration and the sea and mountains both within driving distance. You have to try Chile Grande if you get the chance, its brilliant! http://www.chilegrande.com/Home.html

All I can say is "wow"!

I absolutely LOVED this city! It has the most gorgeous architecture and tons of history! And of course, the Alhambra, which was absolutely amazing! The people here are very friendly and helpful. Yes, driving is a bit troublesome, but that´s what cheap buses are for, right? I will definately be a regular as I don´t live too far (Marbella - don´t come here!).

We were made to feel like old friends

Do not be put off by negative reports of the Albaizin. Certainly there is more testosterone in the air than traffic fumes but on the whole everyone is very well behaved. Visited Granada January 06. Weather fine though chilly in the mornings and evenings. We stayed in the Albaizin(Moorish Quarter) and felt perfectly safe. We can heartily recommend two particular watering holes; Lazeta restaurant, a fusion of Morroccan and Spanish cuisine and Cafateria Eurosalon, where Antonio serves the best tapas in Granada. The prices are right and in both places you are made to feel like old friends. Take a 31 or 32 bus from Plaza Nueva and alight at Plaza Salvador, cost .95 euro each. Walk back round the corner into Placeta Aliatar, walk uphill and Lazeta is 200 metres on the right. Antonio's Cafeteria is a further 200 metres uphill on the left at the corner of Agua. You will not be disappointed if you are prepared to mix. In one week we met a professional Flamenco guitarist, a professional Flamenco dancer and a retired Picador. Not bad for your average lunchtime drink!

Palatial Holiday

This was my 1st trip overseas and what a trip it was! Granada's locals are extremely helpful and friendly, particularly if you speak a little Spanish. El Realejo is a great nightlife spot, and the Tapas, although a few Euro, are excellent. Manchego cheese in Spanish olive oil, sausage sandwiches, and a drink or two go for €5-€8 total. If you're an architecture fan, the city is blended magnificently between 5 cultures: Moorish, Jewish, Christian, Romani, and Modern. Many of the sidewalks are inlaid with white marble, and there's fountains and parks everywhere. You can be a tourist without ever having to visit the tourist spots. Plenty to do and see. Very safe city, though reasonable precautions should be taken. Purse snatching is common, so wear a money belt or some other alternative. The exchange rate from dollars to euros may be awful, but you'll find your money goes a very long way in Granada. I spent 4 days in the city and fed two people the whole time on less than €70.

The most beautiful city in the world!

Visit the Mirador San Nicolas for the best views of the Alhambra. And Llano de la Perdiz is beautiful in springtime, the olive fields full of flowers, and gorgeous views of the snow-capped Sierra Nevada. Go skiing in the Sierra, for views of Africa!

A mixed bag

The problem with Spain as a whole is that it wasn’t destroyed during World War II. Granada exemplifies this notion. The streets and sidewalks are far too queer, narrow, and crowded… If only Spain, had been firebombed like the cities of Germany and Great Britton it would be a much more tourist friendly place. Driving happened to be my main problem in Granada. Imagine drivers crazier than the French, and more inattentive that the Italians all trying to drive on roads or sidewalks that were built to accommodate mule driven carts. Then add more pedestrians than you have ever seen before, and that’s Granada. Other than that it was great! The Alhambra in of itself was worth all the other trouble.
