I spent five months studying abroad in Granada (January to May 2008) and it was absolutely incredible. As other people on this site have said, of course there’s the Alhambra which is amazing, but one of my favorite things to do was just wander through the sidestreets discovering new shops and tapas bars and teterias. My roommate and I would often stop at Tiggiani’s across from Plaza Nueva and each get an ice cream cone (they had the most amazing ice cream displays I’ve ever seen) and then wander up past Plaza Nueva along el Rio Darro to where we could see a lovely view of the Alhambra. Sometimes we’d get lost in the Albaicin, but then we always knew how to get back to an area we knew- just go down! As you can see, I can get carried away talking about Granada, because it feels like a second home to me. It’s an absolutely beautiful city, so if you have the chance, definitely go!
