Top ten things to do in Granada, Spain

Here are my top ten things I suggest, to do in Granada.

1. Visit the Alhambra - The Alhambra is a palace and fortress complex constructed during the mid 14th century, built for its Moorish rulers. It is a UNESCO World Heritage site, so be ready for huge crowds but incredible views and features.



2. The Albaicin - El Albaicin the old Moorish quarters of the city of Granada. Spectacular views can be seen from the Alhambra. Here, small alleys lead you to surprise after surprise, as you climb up to the peaks of the quarters such as the Mirador de San Nicolas for breathtaking views. There are even hotels and cafes if you prefer to stay in this part of the city of Granada.


3. Generalife - "Generalife" translated, means, "garden of feasts or garden of paradise", which is what it is when you step into this beautiful labyrinth of plants, flowers and so much greenery. Take your time to explore the gardens, since there is so much to see and photograph.


4. Parque de las Ciencias - It is a science Park with an interactive museum located near the historic city centre of Granada.

5. Plaza Bib Rambla - I think this would probably be the most central part of town as one can get in Granada.


6. Alcaiceria - Shopping made easy. This is like an open flea market with so much being offered from house decor, souvenirs, clothes, etc. Here, you can bargain, so expect shoppers can polish their bargaining skills.



7. Plaza Nueva - A good part of town, very central and has a lot of hotels, cafes and bars.


8. Granada Cathedral -


9. Sacromonte - The Sacromonte is situated in Valparaíso Valley, facing the Alhambra. It is located on each side of the Darro River.

10. Gran Via and Plaza Isabel Catolico - Walking along Gran Via of Granada will take you to a small plaza of Isabel Catolico, a very central area and great accessible to many establishments and transportation.
