Granada
Very cool place with plenty of walking and sight seeing to do. Would highly recommend Alhambra, Cathedral and a picnic at a mirador over looking the city. Take advantage of free tapas with drinks!
City Guide Granada, Spain
Visiting Granada
Nestled close to the towering Sierra Nevada, and overlooked by the Alhambra, one of the world's most famous Moorish palaces, Granada in the Spanish region of Andalucia is unique in comparison to other Spanish cities. Sure, it has its tapas bars and locals enjoy their siestas every afternoon, but stroll around the city and you'll find Moorish quarters with an abundance of tea houses and restaurants where Arabic delicacies are their specialty. It is also a big student city, so whether it's the middle or end of the week you arrive you'll find somewhere to suit your hedonistic needs.

Granada
If you go to Granada, it is a must to go see the Alhambra. I was hesitating at first but decided to go and it was the best decision ever! You should also go up the village towards sacromonte to get a really good view of the city and the Alhambra! It is very fickle weather however as it can be sunny and warm in the morning and rainind and cold in the afternoon and night!
Insider Tip:Restaurants all offer a free tapas with the purchase of a drink so take advantage of that!

Awesome Spanish city! You don't want to miss out!
My friend and I both loved spending time in Granada. It is a beautiful little city that is charming in every way; you'll just want to walk around for hours and get lost in the magic. There are tons of cute little shops where you can buy funky hippy clothes and jewelry. There is also some great hiking just outside the main city area, only 2 cheap city bus rides away!
Insider Tip:Go for a tour!! There is so much fascinating history that you will love discovering!
