Home to Moorish treasures, enticing hillside barrios and a rich flamenco scene, a holiday in Granada is all about discovering ancient cultures in a modern city. Come for an alternative short break or make it a week and fully embrace the laid-back Andalusian lifestyle.
The centrepiece of a Granada holiday is certainly the Alhambra, an exceptionally well-preserved Moorish complex of palaces and gardens. Even if you’re not into architecture or history, the vast compound, many courtyards and intricate mosaic designs once enjoyed by the Emirs of Granada makes for a great day out.
The city’s ancient hammam baths and neighbourhoods filled with narrow winding alleys are further reminders of Granada’s Arabic heritage – and it’s this legacy that really sets it apart from other European cities. That’s especially true if you find yourself in Albaicín, a hilltop neighbourhood that feels like another world altogether.
The Moors weren’t the only ones who left their mark on modern-day Granada, and Romani influences can be seen and experienced throughout. One of the most enduring is flamenco, which is at its traditional best in the tablaos (special venues for flamenco) of the neighbourhood Sacromonte.
The region of Andalusia is renowned for its tapas, and Granada is one of very few Spanish cities keeping the tradition alive – any bar worth its patatas bravas will serve you a free snack with your cerveza or wine. Even better, they can get more generous with each drink.
Mirador de San Nicolás is usually the best way to end a day in Granada. The lookout has a view of the Alhambra, with a backdrop of the Sierra Nevada mountain range, that gets extra special at sunset. Speaking of the Sierra Nevada, you’re only an hour’s drive from hiking trails showing off the spectacular range.
