Recommend backpack such as this.
Luggage and bags: Bring light bags since the transportation system is small. Taxis are usually the best way besides walking of getting around. If you dont' mind lugging around a big bag, do so, otherwise if you're backpacking pack light so as not to have to carry the large bags from the train stations to the main center - about a mile!
Clothing/Shoes/Weather Gear: For summer, if you're going to be walking quite a bit, especially from the center of town up the hill to Alhambra, wear good walking shoes. No shoes that will be very hot though, as it is usually 100 degrees or more during July and August!
Toiletries and Medical Supplies: Bring plenty of sunscreen!! And also bring aloe in case you are not intelligent enough to use said sunscreen. Bring bandaids for blisters from all the walking you'll be doing!
Photo Equipment: Definately bring any kind of camera you own! The city is gorgeous with plenty of picture opps, but the Alhambra has a photo opp waiting around every corner!
