Granada

GRANADA

Start 0900hr, walk over to ISABEL LA CATOLICA for Bus #3 (1.20eur) to Alhambra.

Be early as the Nasrid Palace controlled on the booking timing and with long queue.

I will suggest start at least 2hr in advance of the Nasrid Palace timing. My ticket is 1000hr and I reached 0925hr and I do not have much time to explore Generalife before Nasrid Palace and too lazy to back trace to Generalife again. The place is huge! I usually walk explore pretty fast but it still took me near 3hrs. I will recommend to reserve at least 4hrs for the place. And remember to book the ticket online early. I had booked 2 months in advance and a lot time slot had already been taken. 

The bus with stop outside the main entrance, so you can start with GENERALIFE first.

Then proceed to CARLOS V, NASRID PALACE, PARTAL, ALCAZAR and exit at PUERTA DE LA JUSTICA and walk down the streets to centro.

THE ALHAMBRA

GENERALIFE

The sultan's leisure palaces with a long line of fountains, gardens and water features.

CARLOS V

A strange renaissance palace built by Carlos V to stamp the Christian identity onto the Alhambra after the conquest.

NASRID PALACE

A series of sumptous rooms and courtyards

PARTAL GARDEN

A wonderful goldfish pond and the Torre de las Damas.

THE ALCAZABA

The fortess where the soldiers lived with big towers that lookout over Granada.

PUETA DE LA JUSTICA

The exit nearer to the city streets. 20mins walk from here to the main streets.

MESON LA PATALETA

Recommended by my hostal, 3 course set for 11.90eur.

None of the server understand english, average food. Melon is the best among all.

VEGETABLE SOUP

PAELLA with long bean and beef

MELON

BASILICA DE SAN JUAN DE DIOS

IGLESIA DE SAN JERONIMO

Different types of herbs and tea selling outside the Cathedral.

CALDERERIA NUEVA, ALBAYZIN

Street with choices of TETERIAS (Arab teahouse), Moorish craft shops and stalls.

Beautiful lightings

Just saw one set recently in Great world city selling at $999. 

A set of 5 lights cost 138eur here.

Back to LOS DIAMANTES again.

Fish nuggets and fried shrimps

Cold shrimps

Cannot remember where is bar is, quite a high rating in tripadvisor but food n service is bad.

BAR POE

This bar is tuck in a corner and operated by a English. The Tapa they serve is unique and delicious!

Had drank 2 Tinto de Verano and 3 Tapas. 2 of them is free!

Really love this free Tapas City!!

I shared one of the dish with another customer and tried his pork skewer, seems like my selection is better:)

No. 7 Spicy liver with cilantro is the best!

No. 3 Spicy Piri Piri pork stew

No. 2 Skewer of grilled pork and pineapple

No. 5 Chicken in coconut sauce with polenta

 TINTO DE VERANO (1.50eur)

*Note: I will want to try Bodega de Antonio if I ever come back again.
