10 Nature & Wildlife Areas in Province of Granada That You Shouldn't Miss

September 1, 2021 Augustus Redeker

There’s an Arabic inscription that captures the essence of Granada in a few words: “There is nothing so sad as to be blind in Granada.” The perspicacity of this declaration becomes obvious as soon as you penetrate the austere walls of the Alhambra and take in the full majesty of the architecture, carvings and fountains of the Nasrid palaces. Your ticket (which should be bought well in advance following the instructions on the attraction’s website) also affords entry to the Renaissance Palace of Carlos V and to the exquisite gardens of the Generalife. If you are celebrating a special event, or are in the market for a splurge, you can stay in the lovely Parador, right on site. Make your way down into the city via the atmospheric old quarter of the Albaicin, with its tiny craft shops and restaurants, and head for the Cathedral and Royal Chapel. Also plan a visit to the crypt for the tombs of Ferdinand and Isabella, the instigators of Spain’s imperial adventures to the New World and beyond. It’s worth making the short journey out of town to visit the Monasterio Cartuja, a fabulous Carthusian monastery in the baroque style. Admirers of the poet Lorca should make the effort to visit the Casa-Museo Federico Garcia Lorca in Fuente Vaqueros, about 11 miles from the city centre.

Cortijo Buho

A beautiful 11th century cave house and gardens where you can experience what it's like to be a falconer. In this relaxed atmosphere you meet the birds, learn all about them as a species but also as an individual as they all have big characters. Also meet Alessi & Fluer the meerkats and their babies, Sydney the kookaburra, the polecats and the guinea pigs. A unique day out which you'll never forget. We are a non profit making organisation, everything we generate goes back into conservation and education. We welcome visitors by appointment only. Come and see what we do

Visited here as a party of 6 friends early last year. It was so amazing that I visited again in May with another friend. Lawerence is passionate about birds of prey and all animals, very caring and knowledgeable with some great stories to tell. Birds are flown but all his animals and birds are resues and there is always something new to seeMatilda´s food is amazing. Matilda is a great cook and the fabulous lunch included a great vegetarian curry. A great experience for all the family and will be visiting again.
