Well then come with us, because we are going to know the places to visit in granada and with which you will also let yourself be captivated.

The Alhambra, main point of the places to visit in Granada

There is no doubt that the palace complex of the Alhambra and the Generalife is the best-known monument in Granada. What's more, it is the second most visited place in all of Spain, and it does not surprise us. Its gardens and palaces transport us to the different historical stages that the Alhambra experienced as a place of residence for Muslim and Christian monarchs, of which we are going to highlight the magical set of Nasrid Palaces, where the American Washington Irving wrote the work Tales of the Alhambra. In addition to its famous Patio de los Leones, these palaces bring together such spectacular spaces as the Patio de los Arrayanes with its enormous pool, the imposing Hall of the Ambassadors and Hall of the Two Sisters or the Hall of the Abencerrajes, whose name comes from a macabre legend that we invite you to discover right there.

The Albaicín and the Realejo, the most significant neighborhoods of Granada

When talking about the notable Granada neighborhoods, it is impossible not to think of Albaicín and Realejo. In the case of the first, its streets continue to present a physiognomy very similar to the one they had in the Nasrid era, narrow, cobbled and whitewashed, perfect for getting lost and discovering the gaps through which the Alhambra appears on the other side of the Darro. In addition to the famous San Nicolás viewpoint, the Albaicín hides many other viewpoints from which to enjoy views of the city. We especially recommend the one located in the mosque grounds, as it offers unforgettable sunsets.

Before or after your visit to the depths of the neighborhood, don't miss out on a romantic walk along the banks of the Darro River, from Plaza Nueva to Paseo de los Tristes. Without a doubt, a place to be inspired any afternoon or night of the year.

From the Nasrid essence of the Albaicín we move on to Realejo, the old Jewish quarter of the Nasrid Granada. Walking through streets like Pavaneras and Santa Escolástica or squares like Los Tiros or Fortuny is always a pleasure, until you reach the epicenter of the neighborhood: the Realejo square. Don't miss out on visiting some of the palace houses, such as the Casa de los Tiros or the Condes de Gabia Palace.

Climbing Sacromonte is mandatory among the places to visit in Granada

Sacromonte is much more than a neighborhood. It is a special place where the houses are caves and where the Moorish and Gypsy cultures mixed to give rise to a style of Flamenco that is the symbol of this art in Granada: the zambra. Today you can continue enjoying it in some of the tablaos spread throughout Sacromonte.

If you continue climbing to one of the best places to visit in Granada you will discover the origin of its name, since the remains of San Cecilio, patron saint of the city, according to legend, were found in a cave. This discovery also gave rise to the Sacromonte Abbey, whose visit will take you into an important part of Granada's history. In its church the image of Cristo del Consuelo or "los Gitanos" is kept, one of the great devotions of the city in general and Sacromonte in particular. Its rise on the night of Holy Wednesday is one of the great moments of Holy Week in Granada.

A walk through the Center and stop for a drink

In the lower part of the city there are several points of cultural, gastronomic and leisure interest. Let's take the opportunity to visit some of the numerous bars in the center, where each drink includes a free tapa with which you will kill your appetite at a very good price. Afterwards, we will continue knowing Arab vestiges such as the Coal Corral, the only entirely preserved alhóndiga in the Iberian Peninsula, or the Alcaicería, an old souk where bazaars and craft shops still abound today.

Next to the Alcaicería is the Cathedral, whose Royal Chapel It is a place of great importance for Christian Granada, since the Catholic Monarchs (whose tombs are two masterpieces), Queen Juana I and her husband, Philip the Fair, are buried there. Architecturally, this complex stands out for combining Gothic, Flemish and Renaissance styles.

La Cartuja, another monument of cultural interest

Moving away from the epicenter of the city, there are more places to visit to captivate you in Granada. The Cartuja Monastery is one of them, of which you can still visit part of the old construction, of which we especially highlight the set of the church, tabernacle and sacristy, considered one of the masterpieces of Spanish baroque architecture.

Granada is also worth it for its nightlife

Not everything is going to be visiting. At night it's time to have a good time and that's what Granada is perfect for, as it is one of the main university cities in Spain. For those under 30 years of age, the Pedro Antonio de Alarcón street It is a place with all kinds of bars, to choose according to your taste. What is clear is that their nights are always emblematic.
