Granada, Spain: A Weekend Trip💫

The region of Andalusia in Southern Spain is famous for its rich moorish history, great (free!) food and Flamenco. It had been on the bucket list of me and my best friend for ages and we finally booked the backpacking trip and explored the region going from city to city by public transportation. It was an unforgettable and beautiful adventure!

Our mini guide to Granada - Free! 🇪🇸

🇪🇸 Granada

From Malaga to Malaga passing through well- and lesser-known places.
In Spanish it is called "La Ronda de Andalucía" 🇪🇸
Do you know what we liked most ? All the smells on the roads and the friendliness of the Andalusians.

This itinerary, result of many hours of research, has been planned for a 10-day trip but can also be used partially or for a longer time. You can also simply take inspiration from it, use the places it contains or combine our insights with your own researches to create your perfect trip.

In this guide you will find 
💡an interactive map
💡a google map itinerary with all the directions of where to go and more than 100 places
💡accommodations, restaurants, bars, tips and impressions and... a selection of Spanish wines (all tested and approved by us)
💡optional adds for modifying or extending your stay

This is a great itinerary if you're coming to Andalusia for the first time and want to combine sightseeing, landscapes, nature, beautiful roads and culinary delights. It's more of an itinerary than an impersonal listing of must-see places and "best" addresses, although you'll find plenty to add to your own interests.
We did it on a Harley Davidson motorcycle, but it's suitable for all types of medium-sized vehicles.

C'est un bel itinéraire si vous venez en Andalousie pour la première fois, qui combine à la fois beaux paysages, visites, nature, belles routes et plaisirs culinaires. Il s'agit plus d'un itinéraire que d'une liste impersonnelle d'endroits "à voir absolument sinon le séjour sera raté" ou de "meilleures" adresses toutes relatives, toutefois vous trouverez suffisamment dans ce guide pour préparer votre voyage.
Nous avons fait cet itinéraire en moto Harley Davidson mais il peut convenir à tous types de véhicule de taille moyenne.

Road trip de 10 jours en Andalousie (guide & itinéraire)

Granada is a city in southern Spain’s Andalusia region, in the foothills of the Sierra Nevada mountains. It's known for grand examples of medieval architecture dating to the Moorish occupation, especially the Alhambra. This sprawling hilltop fortress complex encompasses royal palaces, serene patios, and reflecting pools from the Nasrid dynasty, as well as the fountains and orchards of the Generalife gardens.

Royal Chapel of Granada

The Royal Chapel is part of the monumental complex that includes the Cathedral of Granada, the Lonja de Mercaderes (former trading hall) and the church of the Sagrario, in the heart of the historic centre of the city.

It was built as a burial site for the catholic monarchy, and is the final burial site of a number of Spanish royalty.

The Royal Chapel is ticketed separately from the main Cathedral.

Entrance costs 5 euros and includes an audio guide.

Sitting right next to the Cathedral of Granada, the Capilla Real de Granada is where the Catholic Monarchs lay to rest. 

Elaborate 1500s mausoleum for Catholic royalty, including Ferdinand and Isabella, plus a museum.
