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/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/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 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/6606

The right time of day is at sunset when the Alhambra is tastefully floodlit. Afterwards casually make your way down through the barrio visiting the numerous Flamenco bars.]]> http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/6606
