Good to know
- Walk Calle Elvira and Calderería Nueva in the evening: mint tea, Moroccan pastries and tagines are everywhere.
- Free tapas come with drinks in Granada's bars, but they often contain ham — say “sin cerdo, por favor”.
- The garden of the Great Mosque, next to the San Nicolás viewpoint, is open to visitors and has one of the best views of the Alhambra.
- Book Alhambra tickets weeks ahead; the tea houses below make a good stop after the visit.
