  • Alhambra, goes without saying, the nearest place to heaven we can get to from Earth. Granada, local bars wonderful, free tapas with drinks. Take the train to Almeria, in daylight. Scenery to die for. Almeria is pleasant, lots of nice cafes and bars along the Mediterranean, but please visit the old town. from Myra

  • We went specifically to see the Easter processions - We are not religious but we wanted to experience the atmosphere and the ceremonial parading of these huge tableaus with their following cornet/drum bands. It was quite emotive and obviously the Spanish people, from babies and children (drumming on their toy drums) to the elderley enjoy the spectacle bursting into applause whenever the 'Penitents' carrying these huge loads on their shoulders did a little dance/shuffle to the music. from Les

  • I was particularly interested in paying a visit to the poet Lorca's house which was very near at hand. Also the large store Cort Ingles was just across from the hotel. Indeed there were many small shops in the area covering for all needs. from J C

  • The Alhambra is right next to the hotel. I would recommend this as one of the best tourist attractions in Spain.Also, Granada itself is a fantastic city and comes pretty close to rivalling Barcelona. The people are so friendly and every bar offers free tapas....a gastonomic delight. from LESLIE 
    in AYR     Stayed at Alixares HotelJuly 2006
  • Couple places off Plaza Nueva -Bodega Bastaneda and Pilar del Toro -excellent for atmosphere and value. Alhambra or anywhere in Spain get audio headsets usually 3 euros -excellent value - we would never not get them . from Christine

  • Carmen de los Martires, a beautiful garden with a palace only 5 minutes walk. worth to visit from Susana

  • The ALHAMBRA was a wonderful experience.You certainly need a day to get round and as there are timed visits to the palaces any early start is recommended. from ELIZABETH

  • Get tickets for the Alhambra before you get to Granada. The queues are unbelievably long ....we gave up after 2 hours waiting having got there at 8:00am. The queue had scarcely moved and by that time they were only selling tickets for the afternoon. from Alexandra

    in Huddersfield     Stayed at Tryp Albayzin HotelSeptember 2007
  • Map is hopeless. To find hotel drive almost into the Alhambra car park but go downhill, keeping left. Book Alhambra tickets in advance on the web - it is often fully booked on the day. from anthony
