Things To Do ~ Cosas que hacer

Alhambra y Generalife

No visit to Granada is complete without seeing the Alhambra, a UNESCO World Heritage Site and one of Spain’s most iconic landmarks. This Moorish palace complex is filled with intricate architecture, tranquil courtyards, and lush gardens. We recommend booking tickets well in advance — they often sell out quickly!

Royal Chapel of Granada

Mirador de San Nicolás

One of the best views of Granada!

Albaicín

The Albaicín is Granada’s oldest and most picturesque neighborhood — and it’s where Lucia’s family lives! Get lost in its narrow whitewashed streets, discover charming plazas, and enjoy sweeping views of the Alhambra from Mirador de San Nicolás. There are also wonderful tapas bars and cafés scattered throughout.

Tablao Flamenco

Andalusia is the heart of flamenco, and Granada’s Sacromonte neighborhood is where it truly comes alive. Many traditional tablaos (flamenco venues) are set inside caves — we recommend La Venta del Gallo for an authentic experience.

Monasterio de Nuestra Señora de la Asunción "La Cartuja"

A Baroque masterpiece known for its ornate gold-leaf interior, marble details, and dramatic sacristy. It’s one of Granada’s most breathtaking examples of religious architecture and features a peaceful courtyard filled with orange trees.

Monasterio de San Jerónimo, Granada

A Renaissance gem filled with frescoes, sculptures, and rich history. It’s a peaceful place to wander and admire the artistry of 16th-century Granada.

Palacio de los Cordova

At the base of the Albaicín, you’ll find the Palacio de los Córdova, a 16th-century Renaissance palace surrounded by lush gardens and Alhambra views. Just outside, stroll along the Paseo de los Tristes, one of Granada’s most romantic streets, lined with charming terraces, cafés, and live music — perfect for an afternoon walk or evening drink beneath the Alhambra.

San Miguel Alto viewpoint

If you’re looking for a mini workout to burn off all those tapas, hike up to the Mirador de San Miguel Alto. The walk is short but steep, and the reward is absolutely worth it — panoramic sunset views over the entire city, the Alhambra, and the Sierra Nevada mountains.

Fajalauza (Fábrica de cerámica y azulejos de Granada)

For something uniquely Granadino, visit the Fajalauza Fábrica, a historic ceramics workshop that has been producing hand-painted pottery since the 16th century. You can explore the studio, learn about traditional Andalusian techniques, and shop for beautiful blue-and-white ceramics — a perfect keepsake from your time in Granada.

Tapas

Granada is famous for its complimentary tapas — when you order a drink, the food comes free! Some favorite spots includeand Los Diamantes in Plaza Nueva, Bodegas Castañeda and Bar Aliatar.

Catedral de Granada

The Granada Cathedral is one of the city’s most iconic landmarks, and we’ll be getting married in the Church of El Sagrario, which is adjacent to and part of the cathedral complex. It’s well worth visiting the interior of the cathedral!
