Best things to do in Granada

About Granada

Explore Granada, a city in southern Spain’s Andalusia region and in the foothills of the Sierra Nevada snow-topped mountains.  It’s known for grand examples of medieval architecture dating to the Moorish occupation and its many historical sites. 

Try visiting the Alhambra, a hilltop fortress complex that encompasses royal palaces, serene patios, and reflecting pools from the Nasrid dynasty, as well as the fountains and orchards of the Generalife gardens. It even consists of the Bar Pibe where you can relax and enjoy the unique sites. 

There are many weekend activities you can do on a short getaway if you’re staying just for while, such as visiting Granada’s Grand Bazaar, The Alcaiceria. There, you can also visit the nearby Plaza Bib-Rambla, which is the perfect spot to just sit, relax, and have a snack or drink.

The city also has famous spots, like the Mirador de San Nicolas, where you might end up seeing a flamenco performance from the local gypsies. To explore more of the gypsy culture, visit Sacromonte, which consists of rich folklore and features some of the most artistic cave houses.
