Activites & Excursions
City Life
The center center has a lively feel with modern shopping areas interspersed with historic monuments and plazas. You can "shop 'til you drop" or simply sit in a café-bar and watch the world go by. Further daytime attractions include a visit to the Cathedral, museums and art galleries, the García Lorca Park, The Science Park or a wander through the local markets. Granada by night offers numerous possibilities influenced by both Spanish traditions and the fact that it is a University City with more than 60,000 students. The restaurants offer a fantastic variety of "surf and turf", fresh seafood from the Mediterranean and meats and cheeses from the mountains, all at astonishingly affordable prices.
However, you don't always need to pay for your meals as Granada is one of the few cities in Spain that still follows that great tradition of Tapas. These are little dishes of local cuisine that are served free with each drink in the many bars to be found in this great city. After eating you can go to the theatre or cinema, take Salsa classes, watch a Flamenco show or dance the night away in any of the disco pubs or nightclubs. Other than all the activities on offer on a daily basis, Granada also hosts a number of festivals for you to enjoy throughout the year. There are International Festivals of Music and Dance, Jazz, Tango and Flamenco, along with the traditional local fiestas and festivities such as Semana Santa, Feria del Corpus, Día de La Cruz, Fiesta de la Primavera and Festividad de San Cecilio.
Monuments
The Arab quarters of Granada consist of narrow, winding streets and picturesque white houses covered in cascading flowers. Hours can be spent simply strolling through these beautiful streets, soaking up the tranquil atmosphere. For refreshment the arab influence has developed the tradition of teterías - tea houses where you can sample a wide range of teas and Arab delicacies. Following this theme, the relaxing Arabic baths with a massage thrown in, are not to be missed after a hard day's studying.
