Granada
Andalucía's most magical city is home to the Alhambra — the greatest palace complex in the western world, a 13th-century Moorish city of fountains, gardens, and geometric stucco that rises above Granada on a forested hill. The Albaicín quarter, the nightly flamenco caves of Sacromonte, and the tapas culture (still free with every drink in Granada) make it the most complete Andalucian experience.

Oasis Backpackers Hostel Granada
What guests say
“Best hostel in Granada — Albaicín location, rooftop with Alhambra views, and the free tapas tradition explained by staff on arrival. Perfect.”

“A 19th-century palace converted into an elegant hotel with a beautiful courtyard fountain. The most romantic hotel in Granada with outstanding service.”
