10 Things to do in Granada, Spain Travel Guide Video Transcript:
Wrapping up our travels in Spain, our last city to visit was Granada. Set in Andalusia at the foot of the snow capped Sierra Nevada, this is a place where Moorish influence is palpable. From hilltop fortresses to Moroccan markets, and tranquil gardens to quaint teahouses, in this travel guide we’re going to show you some of the things you can do in Granada:
This Cathedral was as grand as you’d expect. The stark white interiors were a bit of a contrast to the ornate churches we had seen in other cities, but that just made your eyes travel towards a glowing, golden altar.
The Moroccan souk turned out to be one of our favourite spots in the city. The street was packed with tiny shops standing shoulder to shoulder, all filled with leather handbags, glass lamps, wool slippers, colourful scarves and pashminas and souvenirs.
We continued our way up the hill into Albayzín. This is one of the oldest centres of Muslim culture in Granada. The neighbourhood is a maze of narrow cobbled streets, white-houses with tiled roofs, and small courtyards sprinkled in between.
We made time to stop at one of the teterías, or teahouses. This was the perfect place to rest on a cold winter day and enjoy some afternoon treats.
You can find numerous Moroccan restaurants in this part of the city for food. One place we ate at on more than once occasion was Al-Faguara. They offered set menus for lunch featuring hummus, falafel, couscous, tajine, and of course, lots of baklava.
Let’s take a moment to talk about Granada’s main tourist attraction: the Alhambra!
The Alhambra is a massive complex of palaces, gardens and fortresses that once formed the citadel of the Nasrid Kingdom of Granada, which was the last Muslim dynasty to rule along the Iberian Peninsula from the years 1230 to 1492.
This is the one attraction you can’t miss when you visit Granada, and you’ll want to book your tickets well in advance as they can sell out during high season.
We spent half a day touring the grounds during which time we visited the Nasrid Palaces, the Palace of Charles the Fifth, the Alcazaba, and the Generalife.
We decided to find a cafe where we could indulge in a delicious Spanish breakfast.
Another spot we explored in Granada is Carrerra del Darro, a small lane that runs along the Darro River at the base of the Alhambra. This street is lined with arched-stone bridges and historic buildings.
We’ll leave you with a few scenes of Granada at night and one last glimpse of the Alhambra lit up against the evening sky.
We hope you enjoyed this video and that you got ideas of things do in Granada on your own visit.
This is part of our Travel in Spain video series showcasing Spanish food, Spanish culture and Spanish cuisine.

Granada, Córdoba, and Spain's Costa del Sol
Rick Steves' Europe Travel Guide | Andalucía's Moorish heritage sparkles in the historic capitals of Granada and Córdoba.

Tasting the smooth sherry and marveling at prancing stallions, we find the passion in Andalusian culture. And we top it off with fun in the Spanish sun on the Costa del Sol.

Alhambra Palace, symbol of Granada, Spain's greatest masterpiece of Islamic architecture , Mijas
Granada is one of the most prominent traces of Islamic culture on Spanish soil. For 700 years it was the center of Islamic power that ruled the land of Spain. The best view of that time is the Alhambra. Countless travelers walked to see this huge fort. Granada was the site of Latin and Islamic civilization. There are also many tourist points, including the Albaicin district and the Garden of Generale Lipe. The Granada Parador is the most famous of the Spanish state-run hotels, Paradora.
It doesn't matter who built it or when it was used to describe the Alhambra. One story about a guitar song called 'Memories of the Alhambra' is enough. Fantastic tremolo melodies you may have heard of those who are not familiar with classical music. The composer and performer, the Spanish guitarist Tarega, visited this place after being loved by a woman who was a disciple and married woman.
Unlike other palaces and cathedrals, it is not large in size, but the interior is decorated with extremely beautiful decoration and architecture. Visitors are also strictly restricted because the entire palace is treasured and treasured. Inside the palace, do not touch anywhere or lean against the wall. Nestled at the foot of the top of the palace, the Garden of Generale was used by Arab kings as a haven to escape the heat. A masterpiece of Spanish beauty to see with the Alhambra.
Directions: The Alhambra Palace can be walked or bused from Nueva Square. If you walk, you will climb from the square to Gomeres Pass, which is lined with gifts. The Granada's Gate, along the way, is the entrance to the palace. Granada means pomegranate, because the architect who built Carlos V's palace decorated the three pomegranates on the upper part of the door. There are three crossroads through the door. To get to the ticket office, go to the middle of the elm forest road. The person with the ticket enters the left street, follows the wall, and enters the gate of the trial made in the early 14th century. Take the Alhambra minibus from Nueva Square to the ticket office.
-Travel time: about 8 minutes
-Fee: 10 EURO per day, Garden 5 EURO, Night opening 10 EURO
-Holidays: January 1 / December 25
Sightseeing in Granada or taking pictures of the Alhambra from Nueva Square can be a memorable experience. It is a tourist attraction suitable for shopping with various restaurants and amenities.
Albayzin is a picturesque village on a hill across the Alhambra. Looking out from the Alhambra, you'll see a pretty neighborhood that you want to see across the street. The rugged houses with gray roofs and white feel like a fairy tale village in TV commercials. At the highest point of the town is the Nicholas Observation Deck, where the night view over the Alhambra is quite stunning. It is the oldest place in Granada. When you enter the village, you walk around the narrow alleys that are entangled like a maze. If you meet the dead end, you may be worried that you might get lost. There are some pickpockets aiming at travelers who are fascinated by the beautiful villages, props and scenery.
Mijas is due to the intense sunlight and the blue sea of the Mediterranean Sea. Santorini in Greece, but all of the villages overlooking the Mediterranean, like the white wall and the red roof, don't know the picturesque scenery. The toy-like houses on the mountainside are so pretty that if you go inside, you will be fascinated by the cute souvenir shops. It doesn't take much time to look around the whole town, but when you walk down alleys decorated with fairy tales, you may not know how to go. Located in the middle of the world's most famous beach, the Costa del Sol, it is nicknamed the jewel of the Costa del Sol.
Granada, Spain - Plaza Bib-Rambla, lively social center of oldtown
Full of restaurants, flower stalls and bars, Plaza Bib-Rambla is the perfect place to hang out and people watch. It is lined with lime trees that offer shade on hot days and you are likely to hear a band perform impromptu.
Located in the heart of old Grandada, it was once the Moorish center of the city. Only a few blocks away is the grand Granada Cathedral. We rented an airbnb apartment there on our very last day in Spain, so it was a wonderful, emotional way to bring our vacation to Andalusia to an end.
As is our custom, Ed did all of the video camcorder filming and narrations heard, while I did all of the still photography, chose the music and edited it all to upload to You Tube.
Granada Food Tour - Spain
Granada is one of those few places in Spain that keeps the tapas tradition, where a plate of food is served for free, when you order a drink. Tapas in Granada is not only food, but a way of live. Every evening, no matter how the weather is, the local bars and restaurants will get filled with locals meeting their friends or family for tapas.As a foodie, I am always interested in the local flavours and there is no better way to discover them than through a food tour run by a local. Spain Food Sherpas was a perfect choice to take me around a Granada food tour, the city and show me both its traditional and its modern flavours.

Traveling Granada, Spain - Cinematic
Recap video of our trip to Granada, Spain in May of 2019. We stayed 3 1/2 days and could have stayed much longer. Granada is such a great Spanish city with tons of life and things to do. We arrive by bus from Seville(3 hours) and walked all the way from the Granada bus station to our hotel downtown which took about an hour in the hot summer sun.
Instagram: Butlerm
Some videos have been shot in slow motion at 1080p while others at 4K Ultra HD then downconverted to standard HD. Everything was shot with the Sony A7 III with the DJI Ronin-S gimbal. The lens I used was the Sony FE 24-70mm f/2.8 GM.
Much of the video focuses on our private tour in Alhambra and Generalife. The three-hour tour was the only way we were able to get in since the tickets had been sold out months in advance and the trip was very last minute. Some other highlights include the Fundacion Rodriguez-Acosta Museum which is pretty close to Alhambra. La Cartuja Monastery which the chapel is amazing to visit and well worth the price of admission. Palacio de la Madraza, Mirador de San Nicolas, Carrera del Darro and just walking around Granada round out the other highlights found in this video.
GRANADA, MOORISH WALKING TOUR - Winter in Moorish Albaicín
How do we afford to travel so often? We're lucky enough to stay for almost free in every city, using
Albaicín - the old Moorish quarter of Granada. Full of winding alleys, cobbled paths and views from the various Miradors (or viewpoints) across the whole of Granada.
Starting with a climb up to the Mirador de San Cristóbal, we make our way to the vibrant Plaza Larga, full of cafes and restaurants.
We exit the Plaza through the majestic arch known as Arco de las Pesas and head downhill on Placeta de las Minas.

Granada, Spain: The Exquisite Alhambra
More info about travel to Granada: Granada's dominant sight is the Alhambra, the last and greatest Moorish palace. For two centuries, until 1492, Granada reigned as the capital of a dwindling Moorish empire. As Christian forces pushed the Moors farther and farther south, this palace was the last hurrah of a sophisticated civilization.
