Top 10 Sights & Landmarks in San Pedro, Andalucia
The Alhambra citadel of Granada is one of the most famous buildings in Spain: a Moorish fortress with grand archways and delicate ornamental mosaics. Step backwards in time as you wind through the ascending cobblestone streets of Albayzin. You’ll be rewarded with beautiful views from the Mirador San Nicolas. Granada’s nightlife is vibrant and varied, thanks in part to its student population. Hit the bars of Calle Elvira or, for a quieter outing, the traditional tea rooms of La Calle de Las Teterias.

5.0 based on 122 reviews
Delengua is a Spanish language school situated in the heart of Granada. Home to the Alhambra palace, Granada´s cultural, culinary and artistic offerings, vibrant student population, and close proximity to both the mountains and the coast make it an unforgettable city. We offer a wide range of Spanish courses in Spain. Our qualified teachers will guide you through the Spanish language in small classes of just 2 to 8 students, and help you to become fully immersed in the culture both in and out of the classroom. You may also choose to complement the intensive course with private Spanish classes, specific Spanish classes (Spanish for tourism, business, law, medicine…) or lessons which focus on preparation for the DELE exam. Should you require accommodation in the centre of Granada during your language experience, Delengua offers rooms in shared flats or with Spanish host families.

I've been a student at De Lengua three times and have enjoyed it every time. The teachers are very professional and friendly. They explain everything clearly and ensure that every student feels comfortable. All the studemts in my classes felt the same way. I recommend De Lengua for all ages as everyone mixes well. Thanks once again, De Lengua. I'll see you again in the future. Muchas gracias, Janette (Australia)

Another area you can view the Alhambra from below. It's a nice area with seating and restaurants that do menu of the day for €12 euros. There is a bakery nearby if you are feeling peckish but don't fancy a full meal or tapas. From this area you can walk on with the wall/river to your right and the road bends to the left and goes uphill. Just as you walk up there is a nice garden on the right Palacio de los Cordova and further on to the right you can walk up to Museo de Las Cuevas which also gives a good viewpoint of the Alhambra. Tip: wear sensible shoes as you do a lot of walking in this city and most is either up or down hill.

This experience was by far one of my favorite in the 6 weeks I was in Spain. Across Spain there are cloistered nuns who will secretly sell cookies from within their convent for those who are savvy enough to find them. This is one of those places. First find the main door of the convent, it will have stone carvings above the door and it is on Carrera del daro. Then walk past the main door to another wooden door (to the right of the main door). This second door is also on Carrera del daro. Facing the door, on the left side door frame, there is a doorbell button under a white painted cage-like cover. Press the button and wait several minutes. Eventually the door should open and you may enter (don't worry they will let you out). If the door doeesn't open, come back another time. Nuns do not follow regular business hours and they may be open at odd times. Make sure you have cash - a box of cookies was 6 euros and 50 cents. The nun will be behind a lazy susan in the wall, you will not be able to see each other. But she will talk to you, I think they only speak Spanish. This experience was such a gem!

Granada's central plaza, lined with shops, restaurants and cafes.
Reviewed By 750dimitrisl - Sydney, Australia
We love history and this plaza is one of those that have some hidden secrets! Plaza Nueva, which is not very new, but in fact is the oldest of Granada's public squares, has had a very interesting past. The space occupied by the plaza is in fact part of a river which now actually runs underneath, and so there is a lot more space for the square to be used by people. In older days tournaments, bullfights, even public executions used to be held in the plaza. The so-called Royal Chancellery, built in the 16th century, is located on one side of the plaza, and behind it there was a prison which was in use until the end of the 19th century! But today that building houses the High Court. And further away you will find the Iglesia de San Gil y Santa Ana which in fact is on a part of the square called Plaza de Santa Ana. And of course you can absorb all the history whilst waiting for your tour to start, or relaxing for a while and having a coffee at one of the many cafes and other eateries in the area. We stopped in Plaza Nueva before walking on and visiting the Alhambra a short walk up the road.
9. El Banuelo

Reviewed By ANGELOV230 - Milan, Italy
El Bañuelo is a nice example of Arab baths in Granada. It consists of three halls, and you access the bath from a small courtyard luxuriant in vegetation. The ceilings have holes (some of them in the form of a star) to let in some daylight, but not too much. It is restored, but in a pleasant and non-invasive way. You can buy a single ticket and visit Horno De Oro, Dar al Horra and Bañuelo. Free entrance on Sundays (as of May 2019)
