Best things to do in Granada. Granada is the capital city of the province of Granada, in the autonomous community of Andalusia, Spain. Granada is located at the foot of the Sierra Nevada mountains, at the confluence of four rivers, the Darro, the Genil, the Monachil and the Beiro. It sits at an average elevation of 738 m (2,421 ft) above sea level, yet is only one hour by car from the Mediterranean coast, the Costa Tropical.

Top 10 Places in Spain's Andalusia & Costa del Sol
Top 10 Places in Spain's Andalusia & Costa del Sol accoring to DK travel guide.
10. Sierra Nevada
The Sierra Nevada is a mountain range in Andalucia in the south east of Spain. They are the country's tallest mountains, rising to over 3000 metres. The highest peak is Mulhacén at 3,479 m. It is a popular tourist destination, as its high peaks make skiing possible in one of Europe's most southerly ski resorts, in an area along the Mediterranean Sea predominantly known for its warm temperatures and abundant sunshine.
9. Donana National Park
Doñana National Park is a natural reserve in Andalusia, in the provinces of Huelva and Seville. The park is an area of marshes, shallow streams, and sand dunes in Las Marismas, the delta where the Guadalquivir River flows into the Atlantic Ocean. It was established as a nature reserve in 1969 when the World Wildlife Fund joined with the Spanish government and purchased a section of marshes to protect it.
8. Baeza & Ubeda
Baeza is a town of approximately 16,200 inhabitants in Andalusia, in the province of Jaén, perched on a cliff in the Loma de Úbeda, a mountain range between the river Guadalquivir on the south and its tributary the Guadalimar on the north. It is chiefly known today as having many of the best-preserved examples of Italian Renaissance architecture in Spain.
7. Costa del Sol
The Costa del Sol (literally sun coast) is a long stretch of Mediterranean coastline in the Andalucia region of southern Spain. The Costa del Sol stretches for over 150 km, for 54 km east of Malaga, and as far as the provincial border of Cadiz, some 100 km south west of the city.
6. Ronda
Ronda is a town in Malaga in Spain. Set in and around a deep gorge spanned by an impressive bridge, the relaxing atmosphere here is a great break from some of the more tourist-ridden places on the south coast of Spain, however it can still be packed with day-trippers from the Costa del Sol, especially during the peak summer months.
5. Cádiz
Cádiz is on a narrow slice of land surrounded by the sea. The older part of Cadiz, within the remnants of the city walls, is commonly referred to as the Old Town. It is characterised by the antiquity of its various quarters, among them El Pópulo, La Viña, and Santa María, which present a marked contrast to the newer areas of town. While the Old City's street plan consists of narrow winding alleys connecting large plazas, newer areas of Cadiz typically have wide avenues and more modern buildings.
4. Cordoba City & La Mezquite
Very few places in the world can boast of having been the capital of a Roman province (Hispania Ulterior), the capital of an Arab State (Al-Andalus) and a Caliphate. Such splendor is palpable in the intellectual wealth of this city, that has seen the birth of figures like Seneca, Averroes, and Maimonides. The historic quarter of Córdoba is a beautiful network of small streets, alleys, squares and whitewashed courtyards arranged around the Mezquita, which reflects the city's prominent place in the Islamic world during medieval times.
3. Real Alcázar, Seville
A beautiful palace in Mudéjar (Moorish) style, built in the XIV Century by Pedro I the Cruel. With its myriad rooms, extravagant architecture, lavish gardens with many courtyards, ponds and secrets to be explored, it is a fascinating place to visit. Be sure to check out the room where Christopher Columbus's journey to the Americas were planned.
2. Seville Cathedral and La Giralda
Once judged the third largest church in the world after Saint Peter's in Rome and Saint Paul's in London, this is now arguably the largest church in the world when compared using the measurement of volume. The fifteenth-century cathedral occupies the site of the former great mosque built in the late twelfth century. The central nave rises to an awesome 37m over a total area of 11,520m².
1. Moorish Granada
Granada is a mid-sized city located in Granada Province in the Andalucia region of Spain. Rich in history and culture, Granada is a very worthwhile city in Spain for a tourist. In addition to a rich multicultural history, the Alhambra and other monuments, a student-driven nightlife, and skiing and trekking in the nearby Sierra Nevada, Granada offers a break from the summer heat of other Andalusian cities such as Córdoba or Seville.

Exploring the White Villages of Andalusia, Spain
We rented a car, and a cottage, and traversed the narrow winding streets through the mountains of Andalusia, Spain to explore the beautiful white villages, or Pueblos Blancos.
We started off in Arcos de la Frontera with a really tasty meal. Olives stuffed with anchovies, a duck pate with raspberry jam, and we split a simple grilled mecha sandwich (pork infused with spices). The restaurant was called Café y copas La Vinoteca (
After that, we made a few pit stops in other villages, but we had to rush a bit to check-in at our Airbnb. We booked a couple nights in a cottage near El Gastor. The ride up to the cottage twisted up a hill, past sheep, onto a dirt road, and past olive orchards. The little cottage was exactly what we were looking for. It was quaint, and the views were incredible. There were olive trees on the property, and the owner actually made her own olive oil that she gave us a bottle of when we arrived. She also provided us with coffee that went really well with the breath-taking view. We really loved this place.

The cottage that we stayed in:
The next morning we set our to do a loop around the giant blue watter reservoir.
First we stopped in Algodonales, a town famous for it's fresh spring water which you can drink right out of the town fountain.
Next we made it to Zahara de la Sierra, which was probably the most gorgeous thing I saw the entire 3 weeks we were in Spain. It teeters on limestone cliffs that overlook pretty much everything in Andalusia. The views across the reservoir were amazing. They also have a castle up on the very top, which we hike to and even got to climb to the top of.
After a cold beer, we finished off our day (or at least the video) in Grazalema at a restaurant called Gastrobar la Maroma ( where we ate veal burgers, shredded potatoes with fried chicken and quail egg, and a smoked salmon salad. A great meal that fueled us for a short hike in the area.
This is an incredible part of the world. The mix of Spanish culture and Moorish architecture make it a very unique place with views that will be remembered forever. The food was great. The roads were a blast to drive, and we totally fell in love with the small cottage, cooking up dinner, starting a fire to stay warm, and enjoying the fresh mountain air.

The 3 Pearls Of Andalusia Vacation Travel Video Guide
Along the Rio Guadalquivir is Córdoba. Today the former caliph’s residence of the Omaiyad is a lively city with an historic past. In 152 B.C. the town was founded during the rule of Claudius Marcellu and it was then that the Roman conquerors named it Corduba. Later the town became the capital of the province of Baetica, the hot southern region of Spain. At the beginning of the 8th century the town was the headquarters of its recent conquerors, Arabian governors and emirs and even today the architectural influence of the Moors is visible. In the 10th century A.D. the town reached the zenith of its prosperity. It is believed that almost a million people once lived in the ‘Mecca of the West’. The Great Mosque, today's Mezquita, was extended and enlarged during that time. Marble, jaspis and granite columns decorate the beautiful interior of the mosque that contains eight hundred columns. The old city of Granada extends across three hills, Sacromonte, the world famous Alhambra and Abaicín, a once densely populated Moorish district with almost thirty mosques. For several centuries around sixy thousand Moors brought the city’s maze of alleys to life but only a few of the historic Islamic buildings and mosques have survived. Seville is today’s pulsating capital of Andalucia and is still strongly influenced by the brilliant architectural achievements of the Moors. In former times the Real Alcázar was the residence of the region’s Arabic rulers but most of its buildings were constructed during the reign of Peter The Cruel. Casa De Pilatos is one of the most beautiful palatial buildings in Seville. The residence of the Dukes of Medinacelli was built between 1492 and 1520 following a pilgrimage by one of the dukes to the Holy Land. On his return journey, following the same route that the first Marqués of Tarifa took through Italy, he brought back several valuable columns and fountains made of carrara marble that today adorn the beautiful exterior and gardens of the residence. The shoreline of the Guadalquivir River in the land of flamenco is full of life and joie de vivre. The true heart of Spain surely lies in Andalusia in the hot southern region of the Iberian Peninsula.

Trip to - Andalusia | 2018 #triplovers
Andalusia, or Andalucia as it’s spelled in Spanish, is unique and diverse. A multi-province region spanning the southern part of Spain, Andalusia reaches from the Mediterranean Sea in the east to the Atlantic coast in the west, and from Malaga in the south to Jaen in the north, where Andalusia grazes the borders of Castilla-La Mancha, an autonomous region covering the famous plains of Spain.
With an average of more than 300 days of sunshine each year, Andalusia is a year-round destination. In summer, it’s not unusual for the thermometer to hit 40°C/104°F, or more. In winter, the inland provinces of Cordoba, Jaen and Sevilla can reach 0°C/32°F overnight, while the coasts experience milder and more moderate temperatures throughout the year.
Probably the biggest challenge in planning a trip to Andalusia is the amount and diversity of attractions: Roman ruins, Moorish castles, small white-washed hill towns, cosmopolitan cities, sunshine, beaches, natural parks, and small wineries and gastronomy are all on the menu for an Andalusia vacation.
The most difficult thing is choosing where to go and what to do and see in Andalusia!
Where to Stay in Andalusia: 5 Cities to Base Yourself in Andalusia: If you’re looking to base yourself somewhere in Andalusia, start with these 5 cities, and plan your trip from there. These also make great main stops on an Andalusia road trip.
Seville: A place like no other, we dare you not to fall in love with the orange tree-lined streets, tapas bars, and beautiful buildings.
Granada: Home to the famous Alhambra de Granada, Granada is a mix of cultures and history. Get lost in the lovely Albaicin, and count how many different views of the Alhambra you can find.
Cordoba: Come for the Great Mosque of Cordoba, stay for the charming patios, wonderful food, and beautiful old city.
Malaga: At one end of the Costa del Sol, Malaga has distinguished itself as a hub of modern culture, with more than 30 museums to keep you busy when you’re finished with sun and sea.
Cadiz: A bit further off the tourist trail than some others, Cadiz is well worth the time and effort. With a beautiful old town and lovely seaside, Cadiz is also a great base from which to visit some of the white towns.
Where to Go in Andalusia: Cities, Towns, & Villages to Visit: Get out of the main tourist cities with visits to smaller cities, as well as lovely towns, and villages. Many of these spots can be visited from one of the larger “base” cities of Andalusia.
Jaen: A hidden gem with few tourists, Jaen’s beautiful parador alone makes it worth the visit. It’s also the perfect jumping off point for visits to the UNESCO towns of Úbeda and Baeza.
Carmona: A pretty town of 30,000 between Seville and Cordoba, Carmona makes a great day trip from either city, or a nice smaller spot to base yourself if you’re not a city person.
Ronda: One of Malaga’s famed white towns, Ronda’s dramatic scenery is a top reason to visit.
More White Towns: Arcos de la Frontera and Grazalema in Cadiz province are two more lovely white towns you might want to add to your itinerary.
Villages of the Alpujarras: Not officially part of the ‘white villages’, the villages of Granada’s Alpujarras are just as beautiful, if not even more so.
Alcala la Real: Halfway between the cities of Granada and Jaen, Alcala la Real is home to the impressive La Mota Fortress
