Hotel Carmen Sercotel Granada Acera del Darro, 62

Super spot to base yourself for exploring the city. Outdoor swimming pool where you can take that early morning dip and breakfast in our Barbeque Restaurant whilst enjoying panoramic views of the city.

There is an abundance of churches, monuments, squares and sights of interest but the most famous and beautiful is the Alhambra Palace - considered to be one of the ten wonders of the world it displays exquisite interior decor that was once enjoyed and lived in by the Arabian Sultans. Opposite the Palace you will find the Arabian Quarter - filled with arts, crafts, ancient architecture and a true sense of Arabian life still exists there.

For mainstream shopping head for Puerta Real, Gran Via de Colon, Reyes Catolicos and Angel Ganivet.

An abundance of restaurants, cafe bars, clubs and late night social scene fills the city, particularly around Calle Elvira where you will find both Flamenco and Jazz, Pedro Alarcon for the younger set and Plaza Nueva are popular spots. Flamenco displays at the caves of Sacromonte - totally magical and illuminating!

Be sure to try the gastronomic delights - head for an authentic cafe bar and order a selection of tapas with the local wine or Jerez and mingle with the locals for a true sense of Andalucia.
