The Map Shop is run by a very helpful man who will match a map to your requirements and it is always surprisingly cheap (think we paid about six pounds per map and they always arrive the next day, which has proved v useful!)

We found the
Mapa Provincial Granada, Direccion General del Instituto Geografico Nacional, Ministerio de Fomento useful, but also bought Parque Natural, Sierras de Tejeda, Almijara y Alhama.]]> http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/13368 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/13367
Geoff and Sally the hosts can recommend local bars and restaurants, or serve a dinner of local produce and wine on request.

They also provide walking and cycling suggestions which we thought were fantastic, and meant that we saw a lot more of the local area than we had expected to manage.

The hotel is near enough to the Sierra Nevada ski resort to be on the slopes in just over an hour apparently.

Alhama de Granada itself is a spa town and has hot springs which you can cycle to. Local families use them by day and they are a favourite chillout spot post-clubbing.]]> http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/13367
