Granada - City Trip in Andalusia: Voyage Experience

By Cristina Rebiere and Olivier Rebiere

Granada - City trip in Andalusia

 

We welcome you in your new Voyage Experience guide: « Granada – City trip in Andalusia ». If you are planning to spend a weekend or a short stay of a few days in Granada, then this guide will help you to discover this beautiful Andalusian city, located at the foot of the mountains of the Sierra Nevada as well as the small town of Santa Fe, located 11 km further. You will also find beautiful surprises in Alhama de Granada, as well as in the natural trails of a superb dizzying hike that we will propose to you just a few kilometers from the big city.

You will certainly appreciate the harmonious mix of cultures that, over the centuries, have made Granada a true multifaceted city and region. Each of its neighborhoods has its own personality and identity, including the Alcaicería, the cathedral and its stunning palatial complex, the Alhambra, which is a true city all by itself.

We will share with you our discoveries: the gorgeous city of Granada, but also the little Santa Fe – witness of the last offensive of the Catholic Kings against the Nasrid Kingdom of Granada, Alhama de Granada and a breathtaking hike in the region. If you want to discover at the same time the superb and surprising region of Guadix which equals in beauty the famous Cappadocia in Turkey and its troglodyte life, then do not hesitate to buy the guide dedicated to it.

 

We spent more than two months touring this beautiful Andalusian region, amazed by its beauties. So why not you?

Welcome!

Hello!

We welcome you in your new Voyage Experience guide: Granada - City trip in Andalusia . If you are planning to spend a weekend or a short stay of a few days in Granada, then this guide will help you to discover this beautiful Andalusian city, located at the foot of the mountains of the Sierra Nevada as well as the small town of Santa Fe , located 11 km further. You will also find beautiful surprises in Alhama de Granada , as well as in the natural trails of a superb dizzying hike that we will propose to you just a few kilometers from the big city.

You will certainly appreciate the harmonious mix of cultures that, over the centuries, have made Granada a true multifaceted city and region. Each of its neighborhoods has its own personality and identity, including the Alcaicería, the cathedral and its stunning palatial complex, the Alhambra, which is a true city all by itself.

We discovered this province during the Covid health crisis because Spain had the wisdom to reverse the first decisions made in panic.

While in several countries the quarantines were put in place, in Spain, the management led by the autonomous regions allowed travel within provinces with restaurants, museums and other leisure and cultural structures to be left open. We were fortunate to know the Spanish in a different light and to appreciate their joie de vivre. While respecting the sanitary measures, we were able to continue to live normally, make visits and walks in nature.

We came back a few months later to continue to get to know better this region full of charm, with its steep peaks of the Sierra Nevada, its towns on the Altiplano and its picturesque white villages scattered between the valleys to the cliffs and beaches of the Costa Tropical.

We will share with you our discoveries: the gorgeous city of Granada, but also the little Santa Fe - witness of the last offensive of the Catholic Kings against the Nasrid Kingdom of Granada, Alhama de Granada and a breathtaking hike in the region. If you want to discover at the same time the superb and surprising region of Guadix which equals in beauty the famous Cappadocia in Turkey and its troglodyte life, then do not hesitate to buy the guide dedicated to it.

We spent more than two months touring this beautiful Andalusian region, amazed by its beauties. So why not you?

This e-guide offers you another approach to traveling, between logbook and classic guide. You can imagine that we do not have a team like the Guide du Routard or Lonely Planet (and this is not the goal of our approach), therefore you will not find in this e-book a lot of addresses of accommodation or restaurants. We share with you our travels, our experiences. We hope this will help you discover new destinations and make you want to visit them.

If you own an Android smartphone and want to save on internet data transfer, use the free MapFactor Navigator app that we recommend WARMLY, tested and approved on roads around the world. The maps are free to download in order to enjoy offline mode and navigate without permanent connection.

You can also see a small tutorial video that explains to you how to install and use it on your Android smartphone:

Be careful, we update our books constantly. Whether it is to correct small mistakes that we all make and for which we apologize in advance, but also to add important information such as for example new restaurants, accommodation or places to visit for our eGuides during our next visits or new recipes or plants for our eGuides Nature or to update the technical data during the changes in all our useful guides. We want to warn you that many platforms do NOT send you our updates. We tried to explain to them the usefulness of announcing at least the existence of a new version, but without success. So if you want to have the new versions of our ebooks, ask the platform you bought them from and you will benefit from this feature.

This e-book or e-guide works almost like a website, but without a connection (unless you want to access the numerous hyperlinks, especially to "OpenStreetMap", that we propose during the book).

Depending on your reader device’s capabilities, you will be able to zoom in on the photos. In any case you can use hypertext links (or hyperlinks) underlined throughout the e-guide. We have tried to do our best to make your reading experience as enjoyable as
