Granada

The Moors ruled over Granada longer than any other kingdom in Spain – it was their last stronghold, and didn’t fall to the Christians until 1492. Their rule is symbolised by Granada’s star attraction, the iconic Alhambra, a showcase for Moorish architectural flair and craftsmanship. The intricacy of the décor is awe-inspiring, as are the water features of the immaculately laid out gardens.

But there is more to the city than the Alhambra. The Albaicín is Spain’s largest and most characteristic surviving Moorish quarter, with steep cobbled streets lined with whitewashed houses and hidden courtyards shaded by orange and lemon trees, while in the district of Sacromonte the strains of flamenco music can be heard drifting through the streets each evening.

The Alhambra

An architectural gem

An architectural gem

Nestling below the imposing Sierra Nevada, the Alhambra was the seat of the sultans who ruled over Spain’s last Moorish kingdom and no stay in Granada would be complete without a visit. Admire the far-reaching views from the Torre de la Vela in the Alcazaba (the old defensive fortress); sit for a while in the ornamental gardens of the Generalife listening to the soothing tinkling of the fountains; and marvel at the astonishingly ornate stucco decoration of the three Nazaríes Palaces.

Please note that although the Alhambra is open daily, the Moorish baths are only open Tuesday to Saturday, while the Palacio de Dar-al-Horra, the only other intact Moorish building open to visitors, is only open on Tuesdays and Thursdays.

Notes for a self-guided walking tour included

Notes for a self-guided walking tour included

We include notes for a self-guided walking tour of the Albaicín, the atmospheric district on the other side of the river from the Alhambra where the sultans’ subjects lived. Cobbled streets wind up the hillside from the Moorish baths to the Plaza San Nicolás – which commands the best views of the Alhambra – and eventually lead into Sacromonte, a district characterised by cave dwellings and a strong gypsy culture.

Accommodation

The hotel is ideally located for exploring the city.

We provide suggestions for where to eat out in the documentation that we send you prior to your holiday.

Casa Morisca

Located on the edge of the atmospheric Albaicín, this romantic 15th-century mansion is close to the Alhambra, and is ideally located to explore the palace. Inside, it is exquisitely appointed and full of character, the furniture, fine tilework and original features recalling years gone by. The 14 stylish bedrooms are set around the central, arcaded courtyard, which has a fountain at its centre. You can upgrade to a larger junior suite or the best room in the hotel, the Mirador, which boasts a superb view of the Alhambra.

Overall our holiday in both Granada and Mairena was excellent. The position of Casa Morsica hotel was ideally situated tucked away up a side street away from traffic and noise but close to the restuarants with a fantastic view of the Alhambra from our bedroom window. The staff were pleasant and helpful with a lovely breakfast provided.

Our stay in the Alpujarran village of Mairena with David and Emma was wonderful. The panoramic view from our balcony was one to behold stretching all the way to the Sierra Nevada mountains on the horizon. The food throughout was beautifully cooked, delicious and retained a Spanish flavour of the local region. The cooks really did themselves proud! Both David and Emma were very helpful and took an interest in making sure our holiday went as smoothly as possible and providing assistance where required.

The old cliche, "it's people that make the difference" is certainly true for this holiday.

INNTRAVEL NOTE - these customers combined our Life in an Alpujarran Village holiday with the Granada add-on.

Overall, a very good holiday; great walking, ideal hotels etc. The only disappointments were the unimaginative breakfasts at both hotels and the poor picnics offered in Grazalema.

INNTRAVEL NOTE: These customers had 3 nights in Grazalema followed by 2 nights in Granada
