http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/ Welcome to Been there. Your tips on the places you know - that you love, live in or have just visited - are what make this guide. http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/13366
The hotel is calm and quiet and has a nice central courtyard with a fountain (everywhere in Granada seems to have some sort of flowing water and it is surprisingly soothing I think).

It is possible to reserve parking space in a private carpark. It was unusually cold whilst we stayed there and we were glad of the tea-making facilities and bath, though neither felt like a very spanish touch to the room!]]> http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/13366 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/13365
Order a tabla mixta and you won't need to eat any more, all night! If you want foodie souvenirs they also sell a wide range of local specialities, fresh and dried as well as wines and liqueurs. It is a surprisingly buzzy and friendly place and very popular with locals.]]> http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/13365 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/13303 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/13303 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/13263 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/13263 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/13261 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/13261 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/13262 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/13262 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/13258
I recommend trying as many varieties of tapas as possible, always keeping in mind, or at hand, a nice beer to chill out.]]> http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/13258 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/13229 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/13229 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/13224
And, if you don't know where to stay or eat, look no further than the Plaza de las Flores, a Torreluz hegemony. In this tiny square (no flowers I'm afraid) Torreluz gives its name to a four-star hotel, a two-star hotel (which we thought very good value for money, but try and get a room overlooking the square), a separate block of apartments, an upmarket restaurant, a very acceptable modern cafeteria where guests of the two-star hotel take their breakfasts (which were very good) and, best of all, a traditional bodega full of atmosphere and people, who spilled out onto the square, serving good value and good quality dishes. All you want in one square right in the centre of town.]]> http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/13224 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/13209 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/13209 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/13208
In the light, attractive galleries you can see much of his colourful work, including his vividly illustrated poetry, look at interesting old newspaper cuttings and photos and read much of his correspondence, a great deal of which concerns his long exile from Sapin under Franco, his triumphant return in 1977 and the many prizes and honours he gained thereafter. This permanent exposition is a fabulous record of the life of one of the most important and fascinating figures in modern Spanish history.]]> http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/13208 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/13131 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/13131 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/13127
Routes are pretty flat or at least nicely graded, even in hilly areas, because they were originally designed for trains. The network is not huge at present but there are plenty of 2-3 day excursions to be enjoyed on the existing Vias. This is a really fun way to explore Spain!]]> http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/13127 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/12867 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/12867 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/12864
A soothing, indulgent atmosphere is created by the glistening white of the marble, and the illuminated blue water that plays patterns across the dark red plaster walls, faded wooden ceilings and archways. Your journey through the baths is guided by shimmering scented candles and Arabic lamps. Visits last for 90 minutes but you must book ahead, as they limit numbers due to its popularity. It is open until midnight, if you fancy a late dip.]]> http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/12864 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/12863 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/12863 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/12786 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/12786 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/12360 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/12360 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/12059
I've been looking at the guide to Malaga and it is great. You can see animated maps of the brotherhood routes by day and times and excellent descriptions of where they go and what happens. One of the best travel sites I've seen.]]> http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/12059 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/11950 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/11950
