There’s an Arabic inscription that captures the essence of Granada in a few words: “There is nothing so sad as to be blind in Granada.” The perspicacity of this declaration becomes obvious as soon as you penetrate the austere walls of the Alhambra and take in the full majesty of the architecture, carvings and fountains of the Nasrid palaces. Your ticket (which should be bought well in advance following the instructions on the attraction’s website) also affords entry to the Renaissance Palace of Carlos V and to the exquisite gardens of the Generalife. If you are celebrating a special event, or are in the market for a splurge, you can stay in the lovely Parador, right on site. Make your way down into the city via the atmospheric old quarter of the Albaicin, with its tiny craft shops and restaurants, and head for the Cathedral and Royal Chapel. Also plan a visit to the crypt for the tombs of Ferdinand and Isabella, the instigators of Spain’s imperial adventures to the New World and beyond. It’s worth making the short journey out of town to visit the Monasterio Cartuja, a fabulous Carthusian monastery in the baroque style. Admirers of the poet Lorca should make the effort to visit the Casa-Museo Federico Garcia Lorca in Fuente Vaqueros, about 11 miles from the city centre.

This tiny place in Albaicin would be easy to miss if you didn't know it was there. It's basically someone's house with a tiny reception area at the front and a seating area for about twelve people in the back room where the music is performed. On the night we went there was a guitarist and cantor who were, quite simply, mesmerizing. Their musicianship and obvious love of real flamenco came through in every piece played and the intimacy of the venue added to the memorable experience. Truly unforgettable - thank you Jacob, Marcus and hosts.

Barecillo rockero con mucho estilo inspirado en los bares de "moteros" del corazon de Estados Unidos. En La Cuneta encontraras la mejor musica de todos los tiempos, el mas exquisito cafe y las jarras de cerveza mas fresquitas de Granada. Con 8 anos de experiencia en hacer de tus tardes y noches las mejores del ano, creo que merecemos una visitilla.

Flamenco Los Olvidados is located inside Palacio de los Olvidados, at the foot of the Alhambra, next to Carrera del Darro, one of the most enchanted and charming places of Granada. This building, from the 16th century, has been recovered to offer traditional flamenco shows with renowned flamenco artists that will show the passion, excitement and soul of this art during this one-hour show.
A guitar player, female singer, a male dancer and a female dancer gave a fantastic show! Just enjoying the flamenco, not distracted by food or drinks. We totally enjoyed the experience.
