Granada is a destination that suits an infinite number of traveler profiles; those who look for activities in the mountains, on the coast, those who prefer cultural, snow, gastronomic tourism, bird watching, high-risk activities, shopping, concerts, museums... endless ways to enjoy our magnificent province.
As we have just started the summer, our proposal will be very refreshing and we advise you to pay attention to the proposed schedules so you do n
We can start talking about your arrival date, from 2:00 p.m. Our recommendation and we think that the best option is to relax by the pool area with a saltwater dip surrounded by the mountain views.
But for those of you who decide to go out and explore Monachil we have some good recommendations. After a nice walk through the town we recommend, first of all, La Cantina de Diego, a small family restaurant where you can enjoy a quiet evening with a good gastronomic offer. Diego cooks mostly with products from his garden that he maintains in a sustainable way. The second option, for those looking for a more popular and casual atmosphere, is El Puntarrón, with tapas, portions and good live music on weekends. In both places you have to reserve a table in advance!
Late afternoon is the best time to enjoy the city of Granada, get lost in the Albaicín, a neighborhood on a slope, also known as the Halconeros suburb. Only site in Granada that is World Heritage Site. We love accessing it from Sacromonte through the path of Enmedio. You won't be disappointed. The contrasts between these two hills that contemplate the Alhambra are evident and unique. Enjoy it unhurriedly, slowly, smelling the jasmine and honeysuckle from the Cármenes that populate the hill.
Walk towards the Mirador de San Nicolas, Plaza Larga, Calle del Agua, Calle del Beso, Mirador de San Cristóbal, ... and drop by in La Plaza de San Miguel Bajo, Paseo de los Tristes and Carrera del Darro, enjoy a well-deserved beer and tapas in any of its peculiar terraces.
If hiking in the mountains is not our thing, there is still the option of visiting the charming towns and ancient history that the province of Granada treasures. Capileira in La Alpujarra is one of our favorites. Singular with its flat launa roofs, chimneys, wooden balconies, cobbled streets and ditches where water runs and is life.
The contrast between both landscapes is present on the trip. From creeping junipers, Scots pine, snow star or Sierra Nevada violet to farms planted with avocado, mango, custard apple and tropical fruits. The smell of earth and mountains to the saltpeter of the coast. The mountain wind to the sea breeze, both bathed in Mediterranean light and immense blue skies.
Enjoy Granada this summer, a land full of charm and authentic flavor, kindness and desire to receive travelers.
Enjoy exercising responsible tourism with the environment. For sustainable tourism. For a healthy tourism.
We wait for you!
