What to do and see in San Pedro, Andalucia: The Best Museums

April 28, 2022 Esmeralda Fenner

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.

I was so happy to stumble upon Alea Galeria with just a few hours to spare on my trip to Granada! Ended up speaking with Roman, one of the artists at the shop, for a considerable amount of time. He was so friendly and gave my travel friend and I a bunch of local things to do in our last few hours. (My only regret is that we found him so late, that we could only squeeze in one or two of his recommendations) I like that he gave us truly local idea's for things to do (I am not into touristy stuff). Also, this is a great place to buy a unique and authentic Granada souvenir. I got a gorgeous gold plated bracelet that I am totally obsessed with. Also, the art prints at this spot are out of this world! I can't recommend enough! Thank you Alea Galeria!

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!

I am always fascinated by perfume (and the lengths people go to in dexcribing them) and was delighted to find the Patio de los Perfumes in Granada. I took a perfume making session while there and am still delighted with the eperience and with the product I came home with. If you are a bit of a perfume obsessive it is well worth it. Many off-the-shelf perfumes cost a lot more to buy than one you can create here with expert and sympa help. The place itself is also amanzing and well worth a visit.
