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.

The current family has been running the show for about a decade, making all-natural wine with the grapes grown in the unique, cool mountain conditions. And the house has a history of wine-making going back hundreds of years. We saw the press and barrels, and then the ancient storage area, not in use anymore.

At more than 1300 meters high, between the Sierra Nevada and the Mediterranean Sea, in the Alpujarra Granadina, Bodegas La Divisa is born ... a culture of nature, effort, patience and feelings. Sensory exploration of a terroir to discover… Bodegas La Divisa is located on the GR-5204 road of the Alpujarra Granadina, Torvizcón, in the Piedras Blancas area in a typical Mediterranean village construction.

The tour is offered from Monday to Saturday and it is necessary to book. It last one hour approximately and is free. It was founded in 1963 by Francisco Montero and a traditional and artisanal process is used here. There are several types of rums depending on their aging.
We enjoyed a very informative visit to Ron Montero, kindly given by Teresa. There are fewer visitors at the moment due to C19 - but this meant we had more choice of times and the full attention of the guide. There's a lot of information to absorb but Teresa was very good at explaining everything, and the tastings at the end were generous. The products are available to buy at prices matching local supermarkets, so it's a good place to get yours (ours came in attractive presentation bags too).
