Granada: Living A Dream City


'Granada, dreamland for me' says a folk song is that the many attractions that make this city has one eye rubbing her beauty. Here we highlight the essential places to visit without leave to advise the best places to sleep. Abadia Hotel Granada is a hostel situated right in the cultural and historical center of town has a picturesque traditional look and make us feel at home. El Granado is another hostel located in the bone and has all comforts, like other hostels as Oasis Backpackers' Hostel Backpackers Hostel Granada or Makuto perfect for backpackers. Accommodated with luggage just need to start the journey. The Alhambra is a mandatory point but try not to go on bridges or heavily marked dates for the holidays because what would be a view of pleasure can become a real burden. Tickets for the Alhambra are valid only for the middle and the sunsets are clearly the best choice, since the dawn in the city can hardly see as the schedule starts at 8.30, with the sun position.

It is important to know that there are different areas to see here: the Palaces, the military zone or Alcazaba, the agricultural estate of the Generalife and the city or Medina, so do not leave here without having seen each of the beauties of the Alhambra.

Another spectacular view we have at the Abbey of Sacromonte where we can also appreciate the artistic works which has the museum of the abbey. But there are many more things to visit in this city: the Cathedral, Capilla Real, Collegiate Church of the Savior, the Monastery of San Jerónimo ... be amazed at all the living history and merged with the one that counts and that might not be World Heritage Site by UNESCO. The Realejo is another way to continue seeing all the Arab influence that the city together, over time, with churches and convents. A great example of multiculturalism that is seen in every little corner of this area and overall Granada the Albaicin area and the historic center will give us the best setting for a leisurely walks around the city and the essence of it. Cobbled streets, small plazas, shops, bars and terraces. Drink in this area is also essential to cover including, in some bars can even choose the skewer, so dare to enjoy the culinary culture of this city: friends with trips, corns, beans with ham, potatoes a lo pobre, along with cheese and ham, are some of the most typical tapas of the area.

Noon, evening or night, no matter what time of day you will always find room in these parts, we also close to Arab baths still relax after a day of sightseeing and visits to reach ecstatic. And if you go in time of snow, Sierra Nevada will be the paradigm of the fans of this sport. Granada definitely is a dream. By: Almudena Corral
