However, to make the most of your trip to Granada, it's important to be aware of a few things you should avoid doing. Here are some tips to help you make the most of your visit:
1. Don't just stick to the Alhambra
While the Alhambra is undoubtedly a must-see attraction in Granada, it's important to remember that there's much more to the city than this one monument. Take some time to explore the charming streets of the Albaicín neighborhood, visit the Sacromonte caves, and indulge in the local cuisine.
2. Don't expect free tapas everywhere
Granada is famous for its free tapas, but it's important to note that not all bars offer them. Some bars only offer tapas if you order a drink, while others charge a small fee. Be sure to ask before you order to avoid any surprises.
3. Don't be afraid to haggle
When shopping in the markets of Granada, don't be afraid to haggle for a better price. This is especially true for souvenirs and other tourist items. Just be respectful and friendly, and you'll often be able to get a good deal.
4. Don't miss the flamenco shows
Flamenco is a traditional Spanish dance and music form that is particularly popular in Granada. There are many flamenco shows available in the city, so be sure to catch one if you can. It's a great way to experience the local culture and have a fun night out.
5. Don't forget to try the local food
Granada is home to a variety of delicious local dishes, including tapas, paella, and codfish with orange salad. Be sure to sample some of these dishes during your visit to get a true taste of Granada.
By following these tips, you can avoid some of the common pitfalls and make the most of your trip to Granada. So what are you waiting for? Start planning your trip today!
