Granada, as the final Muslim kingdom in Spain, was conquered by the Catholic Monarchs, Ferdinand and Isabella, in 1492, marking the culmination of the Reconquista. The Sacramento district is renowned for its centuries-old cave dwellings, which have become a focal point for traditional flamenco shows. In Granada, you can visit El Bañuelo, one of Spain's best-preserved Arab baths dating back to the 11th century, offering insights into Moorish daily life. A local delicacy named after Pope Pius IX, Piononos, is a must-try in Granada—a small cake soaked in syrup, topped with cream and often served with cinnamon. Each year on January 2nd, Granada observes La Toma, commemorating the city's reconquest by the Catholic Monarchs with a vibrant parade and diverse cultural festivities.
Common stops include the Alhambra, Albayzín (the historic Moorish quarter), Sacromonte (known for cave houses and flamenco), Granada Cathedral, and various other significant landmarks and scenic viewpoints.
The train operates at regular intervals, though the frequency may vary based on seasonal factors and passenger demand. It's recommended to consult the timetable provided by the tour operator for accurate scheduling information.
Hop-on hop-off tours offer access to the Alhambra. However, entry into the Alhambra itself necessitates a separate ticket, which is advisable to purchase in advance due to its high demand.
Dress appropriately for the weather, especially since some buses may feature open-top seating. Seek recommendations from bus staff regarding dining options, local attractions, and upcoming events. Stay aware of the schedule to avoid missing the final bus and returning to your initial departure point.
