All about Granada
When to visit
Granada sits around 2,260 feet (690 meters) above sea level, which makes for cool nights and surprisingly chilly winters. Both domestic and international travelers flock to the Alhambra during the warmer months (roughly April through October); visiting midweek in April or May is your best chance for a less crowded experience. Holy Week (Semana Santa) hosts parades, while Las Cruces de Mayo (May 3) inspires impromptu fiestas. Book well in advance if these are on your agenda.
Getting around
Granada’s most sought-after areas close their roads to everyone but residents, emergency vehicles, and public transit, so a car is likely to prove more trouble than it’s worth. Walking and cycling are healthy and sustainable sightseeing choices: Opt for an e-bike if the city’s hills feel daunting. Alternatively, hop-on hop-off buses and the tourist “train” let you hit the highlights in double-quick time. Granada also has one metro line and a bus network.
Traveler tips
Granada is a strong candidate for the original home of flamenco, so catching a performance is a must when in town. The Zambra María la Canastera, founded in 1954, hosts vibrant shows in one of the Sacromonte caves where, the story goes, the art form has its roots. Dancers and connoisseurs flock to the Albaicín district’s Peña la Platería, a veteran flamenco club that dates back to 1949.
