Granada
Home to the Alhambra — the most exquisite Islamic palace ever built — Granada sits at the foot of the Sierra Nevada where Moorish architecture, mountain air, and flamenco caves create an irresistible combination. The Albaicin quarter climbs the hill opposite the Alhambra offering the finest views in Spain. Order a beer here and receive a full plate of food for free.

Where to Stay
Makuto Guesthouse Granada
What guests say
“The best budget option in Granada. Rooftop terrace with Alhambra views, free tapas tours, and staff who genuinely love their city.”
“The Alhambra sunrise view from the terrace is worth the stay alone. Clean, social, centrally located.”
Hotel Palacio de los Patos
What guests say
“A 19th-century palace with a stunning modern spa wing built around the original gardens. Brilliantly executed.”
“The spa is outstanding and the pool garden is the most beautiful in Granada. They book Alhambra tickets for you.”
Parador de Granada
What guests say
“The only hotel inside the Alhambra walls — a converted 15th-century convent. You can see the Nasrid Palaces from the garden.”
“Worth every penny for the location alone. Waking up inside the Alhambra before the day tourists arrive — unforgettable.”
