Granada day trip guide<\/h2>\n

 <\/p>\n

Just hearing the name of Granada recalls the most spectacular landscapes, as Francisco de Icaza once said, \u201cSpare him some charity, woman, as nothing in life could be more pitiful than being blind in Granada\u201d, and given that this is not any less true now than when it was written, you\u2019ll find it carved on the Gunpowder Tower of the Alcazaba.<\/p>\n

However, no matter how hard we wish it were otherwise, holidays are always shorter than we\u2019d like, so for those enjoying this gorgeous city on a tight schedule, we suggest this one\u00a0day trip to Granada plan.<\/p>\n

We hope you find it useful!<\/p>\n

Breakfast <\/strong><\/h2>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"Granada<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Make the most of morning sunlight in Granada by having a wonderful breakfast on the street. You can have a good breakfast anywhere, good toast, good prices, plus much hustle and bustle. But we recommend having breakfast at La Isla, as enjoying a latte and a few piononos <\/a>while facing Bas\u00edlica de las Angustias on Carrera de la Virgen, is a true luxury.<\/p>\n

Visit Casa del Chapiz<\/strong><\/h2>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"Casa<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

One of the highly suggested places for anyone visiting Granda is beautiful Casa del Chapiz. This fabulous Moorish house is entered from the famous Cuesta del Chapiz, on the Albaicin, and despite the many tourists passing through, few knew this marvel was located on gate number 22.<\/p>\n

Although it might seem like a private home, don\u2019t be fooled, as this house hosts the Arab Studies School of Granada; beyond its threshold you will find the house on one side, with its beautiful pond, and its gardens on the other side, packed full of myrtle and a fabulous breath-taking panoramic view of the Alhambra.<\/p>\n

Casa del Chapiz is one of the most spectacular sites to visit in Granada, while inexplicably rather unknown to the city\u2019s visitors.<\/p>\n

La Alhambra<\/h2>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"La<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

This imposing fortress surrounded by a lush forest is known as \u201cla roja\u201d, as twilight bathes its walls in shades of red.<\/p>\n

La Alhambra is true beauty, in addition to being the oldest Arab fortress in the world. During your visit, you\u2019ll find a timeline tour in memory of the monarchs who resided here throughout history. It is full of amazing and beautiful areas, such as the Daraxa Viewpoint, Mozarabs Room, Mujammad V Palace, and the Generalife Gardens, entirely stunning. \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

We must tell you that if you are to spend only one day in Granada, you should purchase your tickets in advance, as they are quickly sold out, and there are usually very long lines. You should also keep in mind, to properly schedule, that the tour of this architectural and historical wonder stretches through 3.5 km and takes about 3 hours, so this visit might entail a good part of your day.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

Ticket Sales<\/strong><\/p>\n

There are only two official entities where to purchase tickets for the Alhamabra: Board of la Alhamabra, and La Caixa Bank (also by telephone and on their Ticketmaster site). The types of available tickets are:<\/p>\n
