The Cats of the River Darro

My friend and I didn't need to this time, so we took the little table on the step outside the kitchen for the first "restaurant" we came to. We actually ended up sitting on the step because the table was so wobbly but we enjoyed the time spent there, the toing and froing of the waiters and the lovely free tapas we were given.

Further down the street, on the way back to Granada, you'll find so many little shops selling interesting little souvenirs at reasonable prices, and casual clothing, that it's difficult to decide what to buy.

An excellent starting point for any visit to Granada is a long walk along the river. This walk is a great introduction to Granada because it passes much of the city without making it too difficult to find your way back.

Put away your map and just enjoy the stroll past apartment buildings, schools and tennis courts. On one side of the river, the path runs down close to the water, a favorite area for dog walkers and a great walk for people too—just watch where you step! Lastly, enjoy the spectacular view of the Sierra Nevada Mountains. From there the uphill climb really starts. Though steep, the way up is beautiful, talking you past well-manicured gardens and ancient buildings built from the 11 th century.

Take breaks along the way to catch your breath and enjoy the view of the city. Be sure to look down at the city of Granada spread out before you. With the Sierra Nevadas forming the perfect backdrop, it is a breathtaking sight.

Though entrance into most of the main buildings in the Alhambra, including the famous Court of the Lions, costs approximately 15 euros, there are several free areas worth exploring. Aside from the overlook balcony, populated with tourists and wild cats, there is the beautiful two-level, circular entrance to the Alhambra and a free art gallery with a surprisingly interesting collection of paintings and statues.

Start at the cathedral in the city center and meander slowly up a street called Reyes Catolicos, talking in the dozens of zapatarias shoe stores and heladerias ice cream parlors along the way.

Popular with tourists, the upper half of Reyes Catolicos is nonetheless striking. Running parallel to the river Darro, the street is full of merchants and street musicians who set up shop every day to tempt tourists with woven bracelets and haram pants.
