| Page Views: 13,815 Last Visit to Granada: February, 2004 | And How to fall in love with a city.... by Carmela71 - last update: Feb 27, 2004 |
Under reconstruction after my last visit Granada is a famous city and not only because the Alhambra and all the Moslem style monuments.
A gypsy woman said to a visitor:
"Give something to the poor blind man,
because there’s nothing crueller in life
than to be blind in Granada"...
"Granada, city of Enchantment and Fantasy" were the words of Washington Irving who was captivated by this place.
The best time to come and visit Granada is in September & October or April & may, it is not to hot and not to cold.
If you want to see something typically Spanish you should come to the Cruces, this festival is on the 3rd of May and all the streets are full filled of flowers and outside music and pubs. Everybody enjoying themselves. In every corner there is a cross of flowers and everybody compete to have the best one. Cordoba as well has this party but I do not have photos scanned at the moment.
Enjoy yourself! |
|  | Granada has a lot of Baroque Architecture that it is not as famous but is equally beautiful to visit.
Granada is a university town and offers a range of amenities comparable to those of any modern city.
As well you will be able to do skiing in the highest mountain of Spain. Sierra Nevada.

Granada tiene un encanto especial. La union de las culturas cristianas y arabes no podria haber dado mejor fruto!
Un paseo por las murallas de la alcazaba, por el barrio del Albaicin, una visita a la catedral y a la cartuja, terminando con una vsita a La Alhambra.
La mejor epoca para visitar Granada es en Septiembre y Octubre o en Abril y Mayo, cuando ni el calor ni el frio son extremos.
Pero en particular os aconsejaria Mayo, las cruces de Mayo!, son el 3 de mayo, todo el mundo se echa a las calles, reina la animacion, la musica, huele a jazmin ....
Granada bien merece una visita, pero cuidado se vuelve una adicta, y no se quiere ir!

Hola Carmela 71 You may want to change the classification for your Alhambra tips as they are currently all listed under tourist traps. Seem a bit unfair on the Alhambra :) | IngaA Mon Feb 11, 2008 13:22 UTC
Yesterday I watched a TV programme named "The most beautiful castles of Europe', the one dedicated to La Alhambra. *Fingers crossed*, if everything goes as I want, Pyrenees are for spring 2009... tssss | TheWanderingCamel Tue Oct 30, 2007 14:03 UTC
I wish I'd found your page before my visit to Granada! Seeing the Alhambra was a long-held wish finally achieved. leyle | happyhormones Fri May 4, 2007 09:27 UTC
