Located within the the old moorish Albaicin area with fantastic views of the Alhambra and Sierra Nevada. It’s hilly so bring your walking shoes.
The flat is above a super market and entered via a key code supplied by the owner prior to your visit. The entrance is in the alleyway leading to a plaza. Parking is just a few minutes walk away and supplied by the owner. Don’t try and drive to the property, the streets are very narrow and covered in pebbles. The flat has a shared rooftop terrace that is ideal for chilling - but it was too cold to use on our visit.
The flat is well supplied for everything self catering. Shops and eateries are on your doorstep with plenty of suggestions by the owners. Maps are supplied but be warned they are difficult to follow until you go exploring. Prices are low in this district compared to downtown Granada.
We walked down beautiful narrow streets to the busy centre, with glimpses of the Alhambra and snow capped mountains behind.
A guided tour of the Alhambra is a must, but book well in advance. Our walk from the flat to our meeting point took approx 35mins. It’s hilly, but iyou should try the local buses. We caught the C34 bus from downtown, travelling up through the gipsy caves in Sacromonte, being dropped off close to our flat.
Try the cheese cake from the local bakery and the flamenco dancing at Jardine’s, again close to the flat. We only had sangria but the food looked good, albeit a little more expensive than local eateries.
Lots of expensive looking shops downtown, and we’d suggest a visit to the cathedral and resting place of Ferdinand and Isabella. A complete contrast to the cathedral itself.
Overall the flat was perfect for our short visit. Thanks Samar we loved our stay.
