Granada Ideas

- 2019

April 28 (Sun)

Probably will arrive by 6 PM. Since it's six hours ahead in Spain, our bodies and minds will think it's noon. Although we may have jet lag, more than likely we will be pretty energized.  

Check in to our apartments, and rest a bit if we need to.

Go out and find a grocery store to stock up on food and other items we might need.

Buy plenty of drinks, breakfast/light lunch foods and snacks.

Do an evening walking tour (independently or with small group) of Granada that includes stops at tapas bars for dinner.

April 29 (Mon)

Due to time difference and jet lag, likely very tired most of the morning. I suggest we sleep in, then meet for lunch.

After lunch, here are some things to do:

Royal Chapel and Cathedral - see tombs of Ferdinand and Isabella

The Alcaiceria - market

The Albaicin - wander around the old Arab neighborhood and stop in a Moroccan tea house

Sunset at San Nicolas Church - views of the Alhambra

Another evening of tapas

April 30 (Tues)

Plan A: This is the day we try to do The Alhambra. If we're about to figure out a way to do, it likely will take up at least half our day. Might be nice to find another sunset view of the Alhambra, followed by Moroccan for dinner.

Plan B: If we are unable to tour the Alhambra, we can explore some of the same areas we enjoyed the day before, or we could consider an easy to moderate guided hike in the Sierra Nevada Mountains. In the evening, for sure another sunset viewing of the Alhambra, followed by Moroccan or tapas dining.

May 1 (Wed)

If we feel like it, we could have a coffee or tea at one of the nearby cafes. The other option is simply just to enjoy our mornings alone, considering that we have to check out at noon anyway. No matter what, we will need to have eaten by the time we check out, so that we can move along to the train or bus station for the almost three hour journey to Seville. The snacks and light lunch items we have remaining in our rooms could suffice for breakfast and lunch.
