Stay in the centre, in one of the many excellent but reasonably priced hotels, and everything you need is only a short walk away. Traffic is surprisingly light and most of the streets are pedestrian-friendly, opening into attractive plazas with cafes and restaurants for all tastes and budgets.
Shops are busy in the evenings and stay open late. A short stroll from the city centre takes you to the Albaicin, the Moorish Quarter, set on a hillside opposite the Alhambra. It is an exhausting climb but a minibus service runs to the top of the hill; it is much easier walking down!
Another minibus service runs to the Alhambra, a must for any visitor, and the Generalife, equally essential, to enjoy the cool tranquillity of the water gardens.
Granada is a very clean and safe city; it’s people warm and welcoming. It is well worth a visit.
