(General aviation) You Must Visit Granada South Spain

By Gaizka Pujana

 Although not quite a household name among more casual tourists yet, the city has long been a well-kept secret by the world’s most seasoned and jaded travelers. This secret is not expected to last much longer however, as word about the unique treasures and characteristics of this charming city is bound to get out sooner than later!

Granada sets itself apart from other more popular tourist destinations with its gorgeous natural features, its rich cultural heritage, and the distinctive charm of its local residents. In addition to these attractions, Granada can also boast of an active social scene characterized by vibrant bars and clubs that cater to the younger crowds, and beach parties that last until dawn. There are plenty of venues that offer live entertainment as well, and drinks are inexpensively priced.

Before you head out to check out what Granada’s nightlife has to offer however, you will want to make sure that you have a place to rest when all that partying is done. Thankfully the city has loads of options in hotel accommodations ranging from picturesque villas and holiday apartments, to budget hotels that are ideal accommodations for students and back packers. Check out Cortijo la Loma Granero for a very reasonably priced lodging house that offers a private pool and tastefully appointed rooms. Another lodging house worth checking out is Cortijo la Loma Villa, which is set amidst the lush green of olive trees.

Being an internationally known tourist destination, Granada of course has enough gustatory treasures to satisfy the palettes of an international clientele. If you want to have your fill of some familiar dish from back home, you will probably find something in the many restaurants to please your palate. That being said, you would be missing out if you didn’t at least try out that most delectable of Spanish culinary contributions called the tapas bar. Meson del Jambon is one these places, and it is well known in the city for its delectable Cerano ham. Other restaurants that are worthy of mention are Mirador de Morayma, which offers traditional Spanish cuisine, Lago di Como with its distinctly Italian flavor, and Bar Kiki for its superb summer lunch menu and its extensive wine selection.

Granada has plenty to offer with regard to natural and cultural attractions as well. The stunning Royal Chapel is a must-see for the grandeur of its architecture as well as for being the burial place of Spanish monarchs Ferdinand and Isabella. Granada’s Arabic heritage is also well evident in the awe-inspiring Alhambra palace. Impressive Moorish architectural touches combined with quaint gardens scattered throughout the palace make this one of the most stunning man made sights in the city.

These are only a few of the sights and treasures that await the traveler to Granada. Suffice to say that there remains a lot more to be discovered in this fabulous city.
