Ahambra Tickets
I am now on the website for the Alhambra. Does anyone know if "Senior citizens (aged 65 years and over) and pensioners from the European Union: 6.00 €. A justification of retirement must be presented." means all senior citizens over 65 from anywhere? Also can anyone tell me what constitutes a pensioner from the EU? Is it age 60, as in the UK?
Re: Ahambra Tickets
As far I understand it, it's for any EU nationals older than 65, and people younger than 65 (any age) who's retired and now receive a pension (pensioners).
In the second case you have to produce your pension accreditation. I don't know how is in the UK, here in Spain pensioners got a special card from the Social Security.
Re: Ahambra Tickets
Many thanks - so the European Union reference applies both to the senior citizens and pensioners? i.e. if one is over 65 from, say, the US, that doesn't count? The only card we get in the UK is a pass bus for those over 60! Of course, passports show age, etc. but not if one is a pensioner!
Re: Ahambra Tickets
However, Pedmar, I should imagine that the Spanish are well-used to the British turning up with only a bus pass to show they are pensioners! Oh hang on a tick, I've just remembered that every so often the Pension Service writes to us about increases and what not, so that would do! Isn't it interesting - one size is supposed to fit all in the EU but the exceptions are usually the rule!! Vive la différence, or whatever it is in Spanish!!
Re: Ahambra Tickets
I am not a EU citizen. I found that some places gave me the senior discount based on my passport and others did not. I could not discern any pattern in who did and who didn't...that includes both on the spot purchase in museums and such and advance ticket reservations.
For the Alhambra, reserved in advance, I had to pay the full adult fee.
Travel Tips for Granada
Alhambra Tip 4 - The Medina Area
The citadel had several public baths, ovens, workshops, silos and cisterns and, of course, the houses of top government officials, employees and court servants.
As a result of the war of Independence, the buildings were left in ruins and part of the rampart and its towers had to be reconstructed almost completely. Visitors can see the foundations of the constructions, as well as the rampart from inside, with the parapet walks, battlements and merlons and a great view of the Generalife from the eastern part.
When you come out of the Nasrid Palaces, you enter the *Partal Gardens, with the famous Torre de las Damas [Tower of the Ladies] and the enormous pond that was guarded until very recently by two majestic stone lions, which are today found in the Alhambra Museum.
In this area, near the pond, are the remains of the Palace of Yusuf III, which clearly wished to evoke its predecessor, the Comares Palace, and which was the residence of the governor of the Alhambra, the Marquis of Mondéjar.
A little further up is the San Francisco Parador, previously the monastery of the order and before that an Arab palace in the age of Yusuf V, free-standing, like the previous palace of Yusuf III.
On the way to the Generalife we pass by very interesting towers and a water system.

Easter
Easter in Spain is 'Semana Santa' (translation; saints's week) and is very important in this very traditional, catholic city. So yes, Granada will be absolutely packed as there are processions all week through the centre. They make a great spectacle (costumes, hoods, candles, bare feet, Virgen Maria etc)but block streets and cause traffic and pedestrian chaos. Pretty sure prices go up significantly for accomodation too.
Hospital San Juan de Dios
The Hospital San Juan de Dios contains one of Granada's most hidden and beautiful sites. Inside the main hospital entrance there is a large courtyard which contains lovely frescoes, a fountain and some impressive tiling.
The building dates from the 16th century and still retains its original function as a hospital. Visitors can look around the courtyard but should respect the privacy of staff and patients by not venturing any further.
The nightlife in almuñecar is...
The nightlife in almuñecar is good in summertime. Firts go eat tapas in th plaza kelibia and the go to bars called 'los Bajos' near the beach . For late hours go to the disco 'AQuatropics' an open air disco. In the month of july you also have the famous jazzfestival held in the parc 'EL Majuelo'
