Things to do in Granada, Andalucia: The Best Specialty Museums
The Alhambra citadel of Granada is one of the most famous buildings in Spain: a Moorish fortress with grand archways and delicate ornamental mosaics. Step backwards in time as you wind through the ascending cobblestone streets of Albayzin. You’ll be rewarded with beautiful views from the Mirador San Nicolas. Granada’s nightlife is vibrant and varied, thanks in part to its student population. Hit the bars of Calle Elvira or, for a quieter outing, the traditional tea rooms of La Calle de Las Teterias.

Never been to a convent before and was really glad we decided to visit. The Nuns are lovely people, they really want you to enjoy the tour. Only speak spanish but no problem to understand the most, if you remember your Historylessons from school. Wonderful to see how proud they are of their beautiful convent.

One of the delights of the Alhambra is that there are so many interesting things to see. The museum and art gallery in the Palacio de Carlos V is excellent with some superb paintings, beautifully displayed. Entry is free if you have an EC passport. The 'bull ring' courtyard in the centre of the Carlos V comes as a bit of a surprise.

We highly recommend the caves museum. It’s done nicely and you can clearly see how the gypsies lived. You get a 30 page folder in your language which guides you through the place. We liked it more than the Alhambra.

No nonsense, totally non-touristy, pure, neat, brilliant flamenco performance: one wonderful singer, one magical, virtuous guitarist, two marvelous dancers - a man and a woman - and a powerfully moving performance. Don’t miss it!
