Granada Inns - Reviews and Rates

I arrive in Granada airport around 6.30pm. take the bus into the city center for 3€. The hostel is nearby the city center, next to the arab market and cathedral. The hostel was pretty cool, kind of a hippy vibe. Since it stayed light out till late, I decided to do some sightseeing. I went to the cathedral which is famous for its renaissance...

The biggest drawcard in Granada is the Alhambra. Granada is a university town. Some famous people from the USA have studied in Granada (eg. Bill Clinton) and written about La Alhambra (eg. Wastington Irving). When we arrived at our backpackers we asked about tickets and were told there were none left for today. What about buying tickets for tomo...

The day the girls dread. Drive to Granada and look at decaying buildings and chipped paintings!! Lyn and I pack them in by 10 am and spin the tale of the Moors and Christians....explaining the Alhambra is one of the most treasured and preserved monuments of Europe. The scenery is beautiful en route (mountainous olive and almond groves)and we mak...

Hope you have all had a great week! This week contained many firsts for me. The first, first was being in 4 countries in one day when retunring from vacations. Then I had my first 'real classes' First was Islamic Culture which is going to be a pretty awesome class I think though it will be a bit of review (That could be helpful though because I ...

So I am finally in Granada. It is so beautiful! I flew from SFO to London, and after a 5 hour layover I took off for Malaga. Thankfully one of the girls in my program, Katie, was flying with me so I had a friend to talk to. My mom picked me up at the airport in Malaga because she was traveling in Spain at that time. It was nice to see a familiar...

Today is the mountain day. We got up at 7am and dressed warmly. On the 9am bus out to the mountains, we met an American from Tennessee who ended up accompanying us for the rest of the day. We arrived at 10am and began the trek at an altitude of 2500m (8,250ft). The start point is above the treeline and there was actually quite a bit of snow on ...

Clem says: We loved: Wandering in the gorgeous Alhambra (I would have cried too if I was Boabdil!), the awesome tea shop where we had semolina cake with orange syrup and rose petal tea while reclining on embroidered cushions and inhaling incence, the kebab shop where we were greeted like long lost relatives, reading the Tales of the Alhambra in ...

Today was our first day of independent travel. No professors, no itinerary, just Europe and what you make of it. I don´t remember what all I have told you about the group I am with or our itinerary, but to rehash, it is me, Eva, and Emily Robinson in Granada for the moment. We spent most of today just sort of sounding out the city--what were the...

Amigos... I know that my absence from cyber-reporting has been long, but it has not been for a lack of adventure. The last week was quite amazing, taking me over 1500 kilometers across this lovely country. When I last wrote, I was a time warped zombie, four hours from a scheduled morning departure for Sevilla. Honestly, I went to bed thinking th...
