However, be careful, stay away from the city centre. The Hoteles and Pensiones in the middle of the city are crammed full of zealous foreigners and 'Granadinos' with attitude.

Perched up on 'the' hill, overlooking the Alhambra, are the white houses and cobbled streets of the Sacromonte, just next to the Albayzin. It's a world within itself, yet close to everything. The views over the Alhambra are breathtaking. To the north, the snow-capped Sierra Nevada towers over the province.

The beauty of this place is also the lack of tourism. No one knows about it. I shouldn't be telling, perhaps. If you see this, and get the urge, go, if you don't you're making a mistake. There's no way one would fail to enjoy this area.

It's easy to get into the centre, too. Simply drop a ball, and follow it. It'll take you all the way there.]]> http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/23869 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/10955
The locals are really friendly and welcome the few tourists who visit their town. There are plenty of hill walks starting from Antequera and leading to El Chorro gorge and the natural park of El Torcal.

Antequera is one of the most authentic country towns of Andalucía with a comforting village atmosphere.]]> http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/10955 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/10920 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/10920 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/10908
We stayed in a lovely, newly reformed holiday let with stunning views in Juvíles, one of the highest and prettiest of the villages, about an hour and a half from Granada city.]]> http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/10908
