Good to know
- Always carry your physical passport when visiting the Alhambra; security checks are strict.
- Tapas culture in Granada is unique—you get a free small plate with every drink, but in high-end spots, it’s better to order 'raciones' for more variety.
- Book Alhambra tickets at least 2-3 months in advance. For luxury tours, book as soon as your dates are confirmed.
- The Albaicín is very steep. Don't hesitate to use the small 'C31' or 'C32' red buses or taxis if your legs need a break.
