One of the many delights about living in this part of Andalucia is being so close to Granada. It has many faces dependant upon when you visit. During the summer months it is a magnet for the hundreds of tourists from around the world. The main attraction is of course the Alhambra but there is much, much more to Granada than that. When finished with the tourist attractions there are plenty of shops to mooch around in, to say nothing of the restaurants, cofee houses and ice-cream parlours. A special treat later in the day is doing the rounds of the many and varied tapas bars where you can get free mouthwatering tapas which come with your drink. Our last visit to Granada was just before Christmas where unlike many other towns and cities around the world, it was lit up literally like a christmas tree, providing a warm and welcoming glow.
The area around the Bib Rambla, which is one of the many interesting and intriguing squares in the centre, was especially tantalizing as for a period of some four weeks as many of the local artisans had taken up stalls to promote and sell their wares. No shortage of ideas for presents. It even looked like the Muppets had come to town!!
But we are now looking forward to sharing Granada again with the women who come on holiday to this beautiful, rich and diverse area of Andalucia. The holidays will start again from May up to and including September. This ensures that you will get the most out of your stay here as the weather during these months is perfect for a memorable holiday.
