Holiday rentals in Granada

Bursting with culture and history, Granada is a remarkable city in the Andalucia region of Spain. Start your day in picturesque central Granada, taking in the Cathedral of Granada and its incredible Renaissance interior before stopping for a café con leche in Plaza de Bib-Rambla or Plaza Nueva. Next, make your way to The Alhambra, Granada’s premier tourist attraction – we recommend buying tickets in advance. With incredible Moorish architecture, gardens, water features and some of the best views of the city, The Alhambra is not to be missed. Equally fascinating is the nearby Albayzín, with ancient narrow streets and white-washed buildings. If all that sightseeing has worked up a thirst, stop for a glass of sangria at one of the city’s many excellent tapas bars – Granada is one of the last cities in Spain where you can expect free nibbles to accompany your drinks. If you choose self-catering Granada accommodation, you can also take advantage of the wonderful Mercado San Agustín (San Agustín Market). A covered market covering three blocks, this is a great place to stock up on tantalizing bread, fruit, vegetables, meat and fish. Not only will you save money on dining out, you’ll get to shop just like the Granada locals do.
