SURROUNDINGS & ACTIVITIES
Granada
Where history and magic meet.
At the foot of the snow-capped peaks of the Sierra Nevada lies Granada, one of the most enchanting cities in Spain. Here, Moorish grandeur, Spanish passion, and a lively atmosphere come together. Whether you wander through winding streets, enjoy tapas, or visit the world-renowned Alhambra, Granada will capture your heart.
The Alhambra
Granada’s most famous attraction is undoubtedly the Alhambra, a breathtaking Moorish palace listed as a UNESCO World Heritage site. The stunning Nasrid palaces, the enchanting Generalife gardens, and the imposing Alcazabafortress take you back to the time of the Moors. Be sure to book your tickets well in advance, as this masterpiece is extremely popular!
The enchanting Albaicín district
Wander through the narrow, cobbled streets of the Albaicín, the old Moorish quarter filled with whitewashed houses, charming courtyards, and hidden squares. From the Mirador de San Nicolás, you can enjoy a spectacular view of the Alhambra, especially at sunset, when the palace walls take on a magical glow.
Tapas & flamenco - taste and experience Granada
Granada is known for its free tapas! Order a drink at a local bar and you’ll get a delicious tapa, a tradition that makes the city unique. Try local specialties like berenjenas con miel (fried eggplant with honey) or plato alpujarreño, a hearty dish with chorizo, potatoes, and ham.
Want to experience the fiery soul of Spain? Then attend a flamenco performance in the caves of the Sacromonteneighborhood, where this traditional dance has been performed for centuries in an intimate and atmospheric setting.
Nature & adventure
Granada is just half an hour from the Sierra Nevada, the highest mountain range in Spain. In the winter, you can ski and snowboard, while in the summer, it’s perfect for hiking through rugged landscapes and picturesque mountain villages in the Alpujarras.
