Hi there,

5 of us will be travelling from Granada (Spain) to Faro (Portugal) on the 1st January 2008 and would like to know what our best option is. I was hoping to take the Alsa Bus but it does not seem like there is a bus available on the 1st Jan '08. Car would not be an option since we wont be returning to spain to return the car.



Please assist!

Shiyam

Hi
Between 7-9 Dec.I will be in Granada.I want to discover Granada by myself and go to the places (to watch flamenco,to eat paella etc.) where the inhabitants of Granada go, not only the turists.I mean I want to feel the real and original atmosphere of your city and culture.For example for flamenco show where can I watch original show performed by gypsies.Also any other tips ( what to eat,where to go,what to buy etc.) that can't be found in any web sites.Thanks.

Are you allowed to take photographs inside Alhambra? Are you allowed to bring in your small purse when you tour inside? Thank you.

I am going to be traveling to Granada in November foor 1 week and I have a few qestions:

1) I will be there 3 days before my friends. Can anyone suggest a place to visit between there and Madrid that would be worth a day or 2 stop?

2) How do I get from madrid to Granada?

3) Does anyone have suggestions for a hotel in Granada? I'm hoping for something between a hostel and a nice hotel, hopefully in the middle of the city, maybe near a plaza. There will be 4 of us so if it has a commons aread that would be great too.

Hi there,

What is the easiest way to get from Granada to Faro for 5 people? And how much will it cost for or less.

Many Thanks,
Shiyam

Has anyone taken this tour ( I bought it from VIATOR) it's the Muslim Granada - Alhambra and Arab Ritual Bath tour, about 8hrs with the massage.

Hello,

My husband and I will be spending 2 nights in Granada in October and I am wondering if anyone has good recommendations on places to stay? I have been in contact with a place called Granada Bed & Breakfast/Homestay, which seems to be a decent B&B - has anyone had any experience there? I'd prefer not to stay in a really impersonal box-hotel, and would be looking for something in the 60-75 euro range, but can be a bit flexible on that.

Thanks for your help!

Hello! I will be studying abroad in Granada starting this fall and I'd like some ideas no what to bring over as gifts from America for my new friends and family (I'm from Northern California) Any suggestions? The only thing I've thought of so far that probably isn't very common in Spain is maple syrup! Ha, lame I know.

Hi!
I have startet to take Flamenco-lessons at home, but I've heard that one can take a course in Flamenco in Sacramonte, Alahambre and Granada. Does anyone know about this? Do you know about a website I can use?

Bente :o)

where is the right entrance of the alhambra already having the city pass?
could I enter from porta de la justicia?

and if this is the right entrance... can I rent the audioguide there or I must go to the main entrance?

Hi everyone!
Anyone know of any concerts or theatre in Granada for the first weeks of June? Or at least a website where I could find out "what's on"?
Thanks in advance!

hey there..
I'll be arriving in Granada about 4pm on Sunday, and leaving for Madrid on Tuesday or Wednesday. I intend to do the Alhambra on Tuesday morning until afternoon. During my stay, I want to go to Albaicin, Mirador de San Nicolas, and Sacromonte too.
1. Do I have enough time for all these?
2. If I take a bus from Granada to Madrid, do I have to book in advance and where do I take the bus?
3. Are there any other must-see/must-do in Granada?

thanx :)

Can any recommend any good restaurants in or around Bubion? Maybe within a 20 minute drive? We will be there first week of June. Thanks

Please tell me first week of MAY will it be cold? and what will be average temperature first week of MAY.
Nearest bus stop coming from airport on airport bus to Hotel ABEN HUMEYA, AVDAmadrid, 10granadag.18012,granada

I am staying for four days . Will I be able to get tickets for Alhambra.

I want to visit Mezquita in Albaicin .Please tell me addrss of Mezquita.
Thank You

Has anyone heard of parking on the outskirts of downtown near a hospital then taking a taxi to Plaza Nuevo?

I am thinking of taking my children exploring/ camping for a month in the south of Spain, would anyone be able to suggest where to start looking or what to read in order to find out more? The Alpujarras sound appealing. We can live simply but need hot showers and use of a kitchen would be good. Are there rustic hostels or similar type accommdation that's self-catering and not too expensive?

Our experience of camping is limited to one week in an all-women camp in Denmark. It was completely self-run by the participants, established and well-organised. We worked 3-4 hours a day and had the rest of the time to ourselves (except children who were looked after). Where in Spain could I find similar?

Thanks in advance for all help or advice.

I've booked this accommodation for 2-night stay in Granada but haven't stumbled upon any review relating to the place so far. If anybody has heard or stayed there before, would you please leave some comments?

has anyone bought it online yet???
the website is:
http://caja.caja-granada.es/Apli/bononuevo/bonot.htm

with it is sure that i can go to alhambra one of the days i've selected???
when i know in which day and hour i can go to visit it?

problems with paying with credit card?

I'd like to book a gypsy flamenco show in Sacromonte through one of these two websites. I've submitted the reservation form on both sites and been informed that to secure my booking I have to send my credit card details including the last 3 digits to them by email or fax. The problem is I don't feel comfortable giving out my credit card details by these methods since I've always been advised not to do so because my details may not be safe.

If anyone has used their services before, please assure me that these are the only ways possible to book a show online and it's not too risky so I can feel a little more comforfable. Thanks in advance.

Hi - we shall be in Granada 6-9 April 2007 during Semana Santa. I have a few queries that hopefully someone may be able to answer:

Is there any particular event during Semana Santa that we should try and make sure we see?

Where is the best place to see any of the major processions?

Will all the bars/restaurants be open as normal in the evenings?

Where do all the Granadainos go in the evenings to eat and drink during/after the processions?

Does anyone have any tips/recommendations in general as to how to get the most out of our stay during the Semana Santa weekend?

I look forward to your replies! Thanks.

it's a central area .. i think...but it is safe? also at night?

going back to a hotel is without problems?
( i mean the area at the back of sant anton iglesia)

gracias!

My college aged kids are traveling to Granada in July to take classes for a month and then travel. Can anyone suggest an itinerary? Good tourist book? Clothes to wear? Etiquette specific to the area? Thank you.

i have been unable to secure tickets online into the Alhambra as they have all been sold out. I am planning to take a day-trip from Seville into Granada, and I won't be able to start queueing up at 6am in the morning to obtain tickets into the Alhambra. Are there any other solutions as to gurantee that my trip to Granada won't be a wasted one, in terms of actually getting to see the Alhambra? Thank you for your help!

if i were to book online to visit the alhambra and was only given an 8pm slot, am i still able to collect my tickets earlier at noon and enter the alhambra without having to queue up?

What does it cost by taxi from the Granada Airport to the center of the city? around Recorridas I think. What are taxis costing there in general? They were really cheap last time I was there (1987), but I understand things are much more expensive now.

Has anyone been to the Parque de Garcia Lorca? What's it like? How do you get there?

This is kind of a dorky question, but I am a romantic at heart - is there any chance of seeing a Tuna (Estudiantina, music group) in Granada early June or are they all traveling/home because the university is out?

Best places to go attempting to dance Sevillanas (family friendly)?

Thanks if you can answer one or more of these questions. Otherwise I will come back and be sure to add my information to the Granada Guide.

Birgit (going in June)
