Granada - Post Report Question and Answers
What are some interesting/fun things to do in the area? Can you recommend any “hidden gems"?
Granada is one of Spain's (if not Europe's) most beautiful and unique cities, chock-full of great sights. You'll never be bored admiring the greatness of the Alhambra, the atmosphere of the Albaicín, the fabulous mountain setting of the city and the lovely "Christian" city centre. Go to the gipsy quarter of Sacromonte, and to the wonderful Baños Árabes. As mentioned above, plenty of good food and drink, cinemas, classical music at the Auditorio Manuel de Falla, pop concerts at the Palacio de Deportes. Outside of the city, go skiing in the Sierra Nevada (45 min. by bus) or hiking in the Alpujarras. The beach is 1 hr away. Andalucía as a whole is terrific for travelling. - Oct 2008
