Granada and Alhambra
Granada 17th October 2006
Long time ago my parents visited the Alhambra in Granada. They told it was absolutely something I had to see al least once in my life.
7th October 2006
Also my nephew had been there recently and advised us to absolutely visit it and told us to go to the same hotel he went to.
So this trip we decided and we set out on the 17th October to go another 450 kms further to the south and visit Granada and see the Alhambra. We booked our hotel and our visit to the Alhambra by Internet.
Already the trip to Granada was wonderful and the views alongside the (toll-free) Autovida A92 were magnificent.
Once approaching Granada we got a good view on the Sierra Nevada and arriving in Granada we had no problems finding our hotel as everything was indicated. We almost did not need to use our Tom-tom.
At the hotel (Tryp Albayzin on Carrer de Genil)) our reserved room was waiting for us and exceeded our expectations. As we had booked it on the Internet at www.meliasol.com and travelled in the off-season we got a very good price. The hotel has a parking service for just € 13,50 a night.
After checking in we found a wonderful spacey double bed bedroom with a large bathroom and satellite TV.
We left our luggage for what it was and went into Granada to get the first impressions and they made us feel almost “at home”.
Even neither of us had ever been in Granada it was easy to find our way around town and we had a wonderful afternoon and evening just walking around and watching the buildings and statues and doing son window dressing. We also bought ourselves a small portion of roasted chestnuts, which we ate, sitting on a bench watching all the people go by. We then continued our walk towards the Place Isabel Catholica. We then walked on following that road up and we had dinner in an Italian restaurant on one of the squares on the slopes of the Alhambra. After dinner we walked back to our hotel taking a different route to wonder into a quarter of Casa de los Tiros and walking down towards Ancha de la Virgin and on our way down we found more restaurants and bars. One attracted our attention being a Mexican restaurant called Chile Grande (www.chilegrande.com)
We decided not to make it to later and went to bed quite early so we would be fresh for the next day to visit the Alhambra.
To start our day well, we left a note at the door asking for our breakfast on bed!
