Granada has it all. It is one of the cities in Spain where tapas are free, where you can see Sierra Nevada snow-capped from terraces in the Albaicín, where the most visited palace in Europe — the Alhambra — stands alongside the Romani flamenco caves of the Sacromonte.
Here the last Muslim kingdom held out until 1492, leaving an architectural legacy, exceptional gastronomy and a university life that fills the streets with energy day and night.
Granada captivates. Because you walk through Nasrid gardens in the Generalife in the morning, enjoy free tapas in the Realejo at lunchtime, watch what many consider Spain's most beautiful sunset from the San Nicolás viewpoints, and end the evening in a Sacromonte cave watching flamenco. All in a city just 30 minutes' walk from end to end, with 300 days of sunshine a year and Sierra Nevada as a backdrop.

A city to be experienced with all the senses
When you have spent years showing people your city, you learn that what matters is not just what you share, but how it is experienced. At Free Tour Granada we are official guides and lifelong Granadines, and that shows.
The 14th-century Nasrid Alhambra, the Gothic Royal Chapel of 1505, the UNESCO World Heritage Albaicín and the flamenco cave Sacromonte all coexist just a few minutes' walk from each other.
300 days of sunshine a year, an international airport, high-speed rail to Madrid, a pedestrianised historic city centre and the only Spanish capital with Sierra Nevada just 30 minutes away.
Free tapas with every drink, Albaicín tea houses, Arabic sweets from the Alcaicería and the best student bars in the Realejo.
A city where every street holds verifiable history from three cultures, a guaranteed Mediterranean climate and the most visited monument in Spain as the backdrop.
After creating this complete guide, the next logical step is to experience it with those who know the city best.
