Some of these residences are open to the public on certain days, and are worth a look. I loved the cobblestone pathways up to Albaicin, where there are seductive tea rooms and many small stores and cafes. The above, plus Plaza Nueva nightlife, Tapas, Sacremonte Plaza Nueva is the social center of the city. Bars, restaurants, and dance clubs fan in western and northern directions from Plaza Nueva. I loved eating Paella at a sidewalk cafe while listening to the strolling Gypsy guitar players.
Tapas are all about getting something for nothing.
Order a beer at almost any bar in Granada, and you will receive a complimentary appetizer tray of Tapas. One friend of mine would eat an entire dinner by ordering three bars from one of the bars and capitalizing on the free tapas. The above, plus side trips. My favorite beach excursion was the town of Marbella. Hiking in the Sierra Nevada is nice, too.
