Hello,
My husband and I will be spending 2 nights in Granada in October and I am wondering if anyone has good recommendations on places to stay? I have been in contact with a place called Granada Bed & Breakfast/Homestay, which seems to be a decent B&B - has anyone had any experience there? I'd prefer not to stay in a really impersonal box-hotel, and would be looking for something in the 60-75 euro range, but can be a bit flexible on that.
Thanks for your help!
I can only say: AVOID the best western!!! It is really bad. Maybe you try this: http://www.room-matehotels.com/eng/granadahotel/migueleteshotel/migueleteshabitaciones.php. I have been in one hotel of the range in Madrid and it was great.

Have a nice holiday.
You must see absolutely the Alhambra, one fortress located over the city and full of water games and green spaces: INCREDIBLE!!! In granada you will leave your heart and even your stomach because of the beautiful Tapas you can eat there.
Besides I mostly miss nightlife over there it's infinite!!
By pure chance, as we were finishing our walk through a part of the narrow streets of the Moorish Albaicin district, and had almost circled back to Plaza Nueva, we bumped into our new-found friend Sunny who we had first met that morning as we started out for the Alhambra tour! He mentioned that he had managed to find a venue featuring a Flamenco dancing performance, starting at about 9 PM that evening and asked us if we were interested in joining him. Even though we had not yet eaten, the ladies were over the moon with such fortuitous circumstances and I had never seen a Flamenco performance before, so we immediately accepted.
It was starting soon and we needed to buy tickets, so we all headed off in the darkness along the Rio Darro as we made our way back to the area where the show was to take place. We stopped at a couple of bars to ask for directions and eventually found the auditorium, where we had no problem buying the three tickets we needed for 5 Euros each. Sunny already had a ticket in a good section at stage level but our last-minute tickets put the three of us in the balcony. We were quite happy with both our bird's eye view and the acoustics as the show got underway. The music was great and it was interesting to see how the performance played out with the different female dancers getting up from their chairs to do their bits as the show built to its grand finale of the male dancer on the left also doing a great routine. The other male performers were strictly musicians - and they too really knew what they were doing! No photos or videos were allowed but I did slip in this single shot with the flash 'Off'.
According to Wikipedia, Flamenco is "known for its intricate rapid passages, and a dance genre characterized by its audible footwork" but the origin of its name remains unclear. It is believed to have evolved from a combination "of native Arabic, Andalusian, Sephardic, and Gypsy cultures that existed in Andalusia following its reconquest in the late 1200s and the dance form gradually spread throughout Spain over the following centuries."
We were quite pleased with our lucky turn of events as we made the late-night walk back to the Plaza, where the ladies retired for the night while I had a beer and tapas with Sunny in a bar before also bidding him adieu.
While Granada itself merits a dedicated visit of a few days, the rest of Andalucía offers a plethora of exciting cities and villages to explore. Public transport exists between some of the destinations, but the best way to explore is to rent a car and drive from village to town to village through the extensive network of excellent roads. Click on Andalucía for other possible destinations.
At Plaza Bib-Rambla there is a few flowerstands called "floristeria". You can buy flowers, plants and bouquets of many kinds. Flowers, plants, bouquets. I guess the price depends quiete a lot of what you purchase.
For an introduction to the sights and history of Granada, and for finding your way around initially , I'd recommend this bus tour.
12 Euros buys you unlimited use for 24 hours, hop on hop off where and when you want. You're given a map of the city and headphones (to keep) to listen to the individual multi lingual taped commentery. (8 languages)
The open top double decker stops at 12 main attractions ( Alhambra, Cathedral, Bullring, Cartuja Monastery etc)
The ticket also covers travel by mini bus to Albaicin and Sacromente.
For a first time visitor to Granada, I found this very useful.
At some of the stops are uniformed staff to assist with questions and sell tickets.
It's possible for Wheelchair users to access the double decker.
It would be a good tour to do, when the main attractions are closed in the afternoon.
Double decker operates 10.00 - 20.00 from Cathedral
Mini bus 11.00 - 13.00 and 1600 - 1800.
The mini bus only has 8 seats and 7 standing spaces (Theres no taped commentary on the mini bus either)
** Update - Due to extensive roadworks , the bus doesn't stop at the Cathedral at the moment, instead it waits on Ave de Casino, off Puerto Real -near the Post Office** Hopefully will be sorted by now!! - Apparently back to normal now!!!!
