Muslims, Jews and Christians lived side by side for centuries in the very streets you walk today. The Madraza (Islamic university), the Royal Chapel (Catholic Monarchs), the Alcaicería (medieval souk). Living history in every stone of the historic city centre.
The University of Granada was founded in 1531 and is one of the largest in Spain. A young atmosphere, free tapas with every drink, authentic nightlife. Your guide points out the best bars frequented by local students.
The birthplace of free tapas, pionico granadino, broad beans with ham. The San Agustín Market, Albaicín tea houses, Arabic sweets from the Alcaicería. We recommend where to eat like a true Granadine.
The only European capital with a ski resort 30 minutes away. Unique views from the San Nicolás Viewpoint, cármenes with private kitchen gardens, the Sacromonte carved into the rock. An unparalleled landscape between mountain and fertile plain.
