2025 Granada Travel Guide: Must-see attractions, popular food, hotels, transportation routes (updated in March)

#1月好去地方2025 I ate at a delicious seafood restaurant in Granada. I ordered almost anything but nothing was a disaster. It was a pleasant surprise! Granada is not near the sea, but it can cook such fresh and delicious seafood. The restaurant El Pescaíto de Carmela is really good! The restaurant is located just a short walk from Granada Cathedral. The entire restaurant's decoration, color scheme and atmosphere are in Mediterranean blue and white style, decorated with many marine elements. The dining environment is quite comfortable, and there are many seats, both indoor and outdoor areas. A little secret to ordering food is to take a peek at what the next table is ordering, and if you like it, order it, otherwise just take a quick look at the IG photos. You must order the Spanish seafood risotto, the fresh and rich seafood is cooked into a sauce and locked in the rich risotto, it is full of seafood flavor! The cuttlefish risotto was equally delicious, but the downside was that it felt like poisoning after eating it. Not only is the seafood delicious, but the pork chops are also delicious. It is really highly recommended! Stayed in Granada for two nights and checked in two consecutive days. I really recommend El Pescaíto de Carmela. #SpainTravel #Granada

The Alhambra is a magnificent palace and fortress in Granada, Spain, rich in history and cultural significance. 💞Recommended Reason: The Alhambra appears with its stunning backdrop in the Korean drama 'Memories of the Alhambra,' which combines elements of science fiction and romance, telling the story of an entrepreneur and a game developer. The beautiful scenery of the Alhambra showcased in the drama piqued my interest in this historical site, making it a must-visit destination on my trip to Spain. The Alhambra was originally built in the 13th century as a palace and military fortress for the Nasrid dynasty. The palace is renowned for its exquisite Moorish architecture, blending Islamic art with Western architectural elements. By 1492, with the conquest by Queen Isabella and King Ferdinand, the Alhambra became part of the Christian kingdom. The name 'Alhambra' means 'the red castle,' as the building materials appear red at sunset. 🚌✈️Transportation: Plane: The nearest airport is Federico García Lorca Granada Airport, about 17 kilometers from the city center. Train: You can reach Granada by train from Madrid or Seville. Bus: There are several bus routes within the city that go to the Alhambra, especially Líneas 30 and 32. Walking: It takes about 20-30 minutes to walk from the city center to the palace, with beautiful scenery along the way. 🗓️Itinerary: The site is very popular, so it is recommended to plan your trip and book tickets early, preferably choosing the earliest time slot to avoid crowds. The estimated stay time is about 6-7 hours, so you can reserve a whole day for the visit. 💰Average Cost: 19.9 Euros

When people talk about Spanish palaces, they might think of the Royal Palace in Madrid. However, those who have been to Spain would know that the Alhambra Palace is the one truly worth visiting. Located in the small town of Granada in southern Spain, the Alhambra Palace was left behind from the period when Spain was ruled by the Arab Moors. For someone from East Asia, who is completely unfamiliar with the Arab world, visiting for the first time is truly overwhelming. The palace is situated on a hill, offering a panoramic view of the entire area below. Make a special trip to Granada to see the Alhambra. I've been there three times! And I would still want to go back if I get the chance. 🤣 Additionally, one of the unique features of Granada is that you get free tapas when you order wine or drinks.

#民宿 #100 ways to travel 1829 Little Palace, I came to Granada on a free trip to Spain. Because it was a family trip, for the comfort of my stay, I especially found this spacious apartment B&B. It is located in the center of Granada, within walking distance of the Alhambra Palace. Reachable. The apartment is spacious, with a two-story layout, three bedrooms, a living room, a kitchen, a dining area, and a balcony for washing and drying clothes. The space for activities is large, and the elders are particularly happy to live there. The owner is quite tasteful. The decoration and furniture of the apartment are very tasteful. The small kitchen is equipped with an IH stove, a dishwasher, a large refrigerator, a microwave, and all the pots, bowls and tableware. You can cook by yourself. Problem, there is also a washing machine and a balcony for drying clothes. Before the epidemic, staying in the entire apartment cost only about NT$7,000 per night, which is a very good deal! Even for airport pick-up, you can ask the owner to call a car for pick-up and drop-off, and the service is very considerate. # SPAIN FREE TRAVEL #GRANADA TRAVEL #B&B #100WAYS TO TRAVEL #ANDALUSIA #Alhambra

#palace #100 ways to travel Because of the Korean drama "Memories of Alhambra" starring Won Bin, this royal palace built by the Spanish Moorish dynasty #Alhambra Palace has become popular among Asian tourists and is a must-see when traveling to Granada. Pilgrimages, especially the Palacios Nazaríes, are hard to get tickets for, even more so than concert tickets! Alhambra, which means the Red Castle in Arabic, was included in the UNESCO World Cultural Heritage List in 1984 and witnessed the glorious period of Islamic culture. The Alhambra covers a large area, and the entire palace complex can be divided into four major areas to visit: Alcazaba, Nasrid Palaces, Generalife Gardens, Carlos V Palace and surrounding areas Area Palacio de Carlos V & Around. The Islamic-style palace architecture is really beautiful. The reflection of the Moorish palace reflected in the garden pool is so beautiful that it cannot be seen from a distance. From the pillars, walls to beams, everything is exquisitely crafted and magnificent. The Palacio de los Leone, surrounded by 12 lions, is the most gorgeous area in the Nasr Palace. Climbing the tower of Alcaja Castle, you can overlook the cityscape of Granada. The white buildings on the top of the hill are quite spectacular. There are also beautiful Generalife gardens, which are like entering Alice's Wonderland. It is well worth the time. Enjoy it slowly the previous day. # SPAINTRAVEL #ANDALUSIA #GRANADA #ALHAMBRA #NASRALPATH #PALACE #100WAYS TO TRAVEL

Alhambra Palace ~ There are four major areas 📍Generalife (Generalife Palace) ~ The whole highlight must be photographed ⭐️⭐️⭐️ The sound of flowing water and the towering trees make it feel like you are in a different country. Each tree can lead to a different place, and you will meet others by chance while walking. 😂 This place is perfect for wedding photos (personal I think) ~ There are different brightly colored flowers on both sides of the grass 🌺 blooming ~ You can also smell the faint fragrance of flowers while walking ~ 📍Alcazaba (Alcazaba Castle) ~ I personally think this is a very suitable place to relax and rest, looking at the entire city view of Granada from a high place ~ I have to say ~ The buildings here are so white! Looking at the whole city view, you can forget about your worries There is also a design that looks like a maze ~ it’s a pity that you can’t actually walk into it! ! 📍Nasrid Palaces (Nasrid Palaces) ~ The pool in the middle ~ will reflect the entire building on the water surface. The whole picture is very beautiful. There are different carvings in every corner of the palace ~ They are all very detailed. It's still so intact. 📍Palacio de Carlos V (Carlos V Palace) ~ I personally feel that this place is very similar to the Roman Colosseum 😂, a two-story building surrounded by a circle On the day of the trip, I bought the tickets online and was able to enter by showing my original passport at the ticket gate (super convenient～). 📍The ticket prices for each attraction are also very different. It depends on your personal needs. (Buy tickets on the official website or on-site (people who buy tickets on-site may need to go earlier to get tickets)) ⌚️Visiting time: About three hours to half a day ~ It’s so nice to take pictures inside (The entire park is also very large. Take your time to enjoy it. You may need to stay for a whole day, which is fine.) 📍La Alhambra Address: Calle Real de la Alhambra, s/n, 18009 Granada #100 Ways to Travel

While the alhambra palace is the main highlight of a Granada tour for most tourists. I, having stayed and experienced much more in the form of day trips and other sights in town, would even recommend alhambra for a longer than the usual night or two. For instance, you should definitely visit St. Nicholas, it gives an amazing view of the city and one of the most romantic sites in Europe. How would you like to see a flamenco show inside a cave? Yes, I did that in Granada. Walk through the hills opposite the Alhambra. This gives stunning views of the moorish castle and surrounding areas. Also, these hills have some beautiful little streets, and tiny little plazas with tapas bars, street musicians and dogs.You could fall in love with Spain walking through these hills, and the best place to be at sunset, is right at the top. Lastly, Granada's location allows you the luxury of easy access to rest of Andalusia. The epic scenery, the good food and so many options is all the more reason to stay in Granada. #myhiddengems #europe #summerdestinations #granada #cherryblossom2024 #100waysoftravel #spain

I'm so tired of this place.. I keep thinking about it... The flower of Spain. You have to go there without fail! 📍Granada Alhambra Palace Forget about buying tickets when you go.. You have to make a reservation in advance to avoid risks! #You can make a reservation 3 months in advance 🔻Integrated ticket 19.09 euros 🔻Generalife Gardens 10.61 euros 🔻Nasrid Palaces 10.61 euros We bought a combined ticket! Wow... We left at dawn (the sky was really blue at dawn) and after we went around, the sunlight was shining brightly. It was so cold in the morning I went there shivering, but here... . The weather seems to be very important. If only the weather is good... . No matter where or how you take a picture, it's all spectacular... . It's so big that there are so many places to see, but you have to keep walking! Make sure to wear comfortable shoes. There are Spanish-style buildings here and there. They are hidden photo spots! The details on the walls are so detailed that I could say they are disgusting. I wondered how they made this 100 times. There are many rooms and palaces. If you have time, take a tour. I personally think it would be good to go around on your own! I thought that taking a tour would take a long time and you might get a little tired?! I think it would be good to take a self-guided tour if you take your time taking pictures and looking around here and there. #Please share this a lot with your friends who want to go to the Alhambra Palace! If you share, you will definitely go💘

I went to Granada, famous for the Alhambra Palace ✨ The palace was quite crowded, and even though I had purchased tickets in advance, I had to line up to enter the Nasrid Palace 😭 It's quite hot in the summer, so water and a hat and parasol are essential! ...

Hotel Palacio de Santa Paula is a beautiful and historic hotel located in the heart of Granada, just a short walk from some of the city's most famous landmarks, including the Alhambra and the Cathedral. The hotel occupies a stunning 16th-century palace that has been carefully restored to its former glory, with elegant arches, intricate tile work, and soaring ceilings that transport you back in time. The common areas are full of character and charm, with comfortable seating areas and beautiful artwork that reflect the hotel's rich history and cultural heritage. My room at Hotel Palacio de Santa Paula was spacious and well-appointed, with classic decor that complemented the hotel's historic architecture. The bed was comfortable and the linens were luxurious, ensuring a restful night's sleep. The bathroom was also impressive, with marble floors and walls, a large bathtub, and high-end toiletries that added to the overall sense of luxury and indulgence. One of the standout features of Hotel Palacio de Santa Paula is its stunning courtyard, which is a true oasis of peace and tranquility in the heart of the city. The courtyard is full of lush greenery and bubbling fountains, making it the perfect place to relax and unwind after a busy day of sightseeing. Overall, my experience at Hotel Palacio de Santa Paula was exceptional. The hotel's historic charm and character, combined with its prime location in the heart of Granada, make it the perfect place to stay for anyone looking to experience the city's rich cultural heritage. I highly recommend Hotel Palacio de Santa Paula to anyone looking for a truly unforgettable experience in Granada.#marriott

"No city is like Granada, with its elegance and smile, its shimmering Eastern charm, spreading under the clear sky." - Victor Hugo Colorful Granada is located in the Andalusia region in southern Spain. The collision and fusion of Roman, Moorish, and Jewish cultures in the river of history have given birth to the brilliant culture unique to Granada. Here is also the filming location for "Game of Thrones" and the Korean drama "Memories of the Alhambra". The Alhambra turns stones into poetry, a love letter to Moorish architecture, and a magnificent paradise on earth. The Alhambra Palace in Granada, Spain is magnificent, serving as both a palace and a castle, as well as a well-constructed garden and a military fortress during the "Reconquista". Built 700 years ago, this red palace still occasionally makes headlines in European newspapers, and is considered the most perfect architectural model from ancient Rome to the present day, adding a unique charm to the European continent.

Background information ℹ️: Granada is one of the important and ancient cities in Andalusia in Spain. The Alhambra is a palace and fortress combined with beautiful Islamic architecture and decorations. Apart from the typical arch one can see in the beautiful buildings, the restaurants, lamps, writings are also full of Arabic flavour. Within Alhambra you can easily find Arabic calligraphy and decorations. The lookout of Alhambra requires a ticket and it can be sold out before its closing time, so it is advised that one arrives in the morning. #andalusia #spain #architecture #alhamb #granada

Location 🗺️: Granada is a city in Andalusia, southern Spain Famous for 😎: its Arabic style architecture, shops and restaurants, grass mosaic on the floor and old town houses Must try 👍🏻: Arabic bath - most famous one is Hammam, skiing in Sierra Nevada, the tallest mountain in Spain, and an Arabic meal #andalusia #spain #granada

Granada by night - another exceptional trip to Granada! it’s only an hour or so away from Malaga and the Mijas region and I strongly recommend anyone that is in the area of Mijas to take a day and night trip here! There is much to see and do here, including bars, restaurants, historical places to visit and the shopping centre on the outskirts is also very useful! Having been to Granada by day, by night is just as spectacular! Some Places to Visit - Wild Food (I have also stayed at the Hotel this restaurant is in) Rosario Valera The Alhambra (obviously) Mirador de San Nicolás (find on Google maps for the best look out as the pictures above show!)

#celebratewithtrip Experienced the friendliness of the Spainairds...warm and excepting l can live here if l could. Beautiful people and structures in abundance...infectious. We liked that wine and beer is cheaper than water. Really couldn't believe that people here are especially nice. Before coming to Spain l was told to be extra cautious but instead came upon some of the most friendly people l have ever met. Easy going happy go lucky people is the impression l got of the Spainairds...will definitely visit again and again!😛 Grana is also home to the infamous world heritage site of the Alhambra. Have to see it to believe it....

Granada is home to the famous monument Alhambra. The Alhambra is vast in size and I recommend allowing sufficient time. There are also a lot of other tourist attractions in Granada. I recommend Monasterio Cartuja Granada. It is a bit further away from the city centre, not as crowded as most tourist attractions, and the architecture is very fine.

The Alhambra was a place, a citadel, fortress, and the home of Nasrid sultans, high government officials, servants of the court and elite soldiers (from the 13th to the 14th century). Today, the monument is divide into four main areas: The Palaces, the military zone or Alcazaba, the city or Medina and the agricultural estate of the Generalife. All of these areas are surrounded by woods, gardens and orchards. #passionpassport

Located jn Granada, Spain, Alhambra is a palace and fortress complex. It has always been our dream destination as it is one of the most famous palaces of the historic Islamic world. We flew in to Malaga and took a 2-hour bus to Granada for a day trip. Granada is smaller but more touristy than Malaga so the price of accommodation is slightly more expensive. However, if you want to spend a few days exploring Granada, it will be better to stay here. Do check out the official website of The Alhambra before visiting so you can be sure of the opening hours. It is also important to make up your mind of what do you want to visit, as there are different prices for different places (fortress or place or garden). The combo tickets are reasonable if you have plenty of time in hands. #bucketlistreboot #passionpassport
