Granada is a modern city with 21st century amenities; however this in no way detracts from its appeal as a centre for history, heritage and fascinating cultural characteristics for which it is perhaps most famous. The majority of the city’s attractions are based around some aspect of its past with the World Heritage Site, the Alhambra being its biggest draw card. The cathedral, the monastery of St Jeronimo and the Royal Chapel are also high up on most people’s lists of must-see attractions. Granada has a thriving night scene with no shortage of bars and nightclubs and a lively atmosphere created by the locals’ enthusiasm for night-time revelry. A good selection of restaurants provides ample dining choices and with many offering live music, it’s perfectly feasible to spend an entire evening over a leisurely meal. A variety of interesting events and festivals draw visitors of both domestic and international origin to the city, adding to its appeal as a tourist destination. If you enjoy street-based festivities then be sure to plan your trip around one of the city’s popular fiestas and you’ll get to experience a truly authentic Spanish tradition. |
