    “My desire and instructions are that my body be buried in the Monastery of San Francisco in the Alhambra in the city of Granada.”
    — From the will of Queen Isabel of Spain

    Just because you cannot reserve space for eternity at this former monastery, now the Parador de San Francisco, as Queen Isabel did, don't let that prevent you from spending time there.

    A few steps beyond the front desk, with its friendly staff, in a courtyard with a Moorish-styled arch, is the marker indicating where Isabel and Ferdinand were buried before being transferred in 1521 to the Royal Chapel next to the Cathedral.

    When you make your reservation request room #304. Its selling feature is the view of the 14th century Generalife, where the sultan went to escape the pressures of court life. Because the Parador is situated within the quiet confines of the Alhambra, its well-tended gardens can also be seen.

    As you make your way to your room you will have the pleasure to walk through the delightful main patio. After climbing the dramatic main staircase, walk up a short flight of stairs to reach room #304 with its twin beds, two armchairs and table, and 12-foot high ceilings. The room's individual heating and air conditioning controls make it quite comfortable. The spacious, white-and-blue tiled bathroom is outfitted with double sinks, and a large bathtub.

    The Parador's restaurant is superb. Each morning breakfast, not included in the room rate, can be taken there; it is quite good. Try to sit down to at least one other meal there; you'll be glad you did.

    When you select the Parador de San Francisco you will be in good company. Its former guests have included Queen Elizabeth the Queen Mother. Prince Rainier II and Princess Grace of Monaco honeymooned here in 1956. Guitarist, and Granada native, Andre Segovia practiced on the patio next to the restaurant. Movie queen Rita Hayworth and President Lyndon Johnson also enjoyed this special retreat.

    The Parador is housed in an old Monastery between the Generalife & Nasrid. Ask for a room in the old part which has a tented inner courtyard & a shrine & a cute chapel & many antiques. Our room was small compared to the other Paradors, but very nice with a great view across to the Generalife (which you don't know until you walk it). We walked back downhill to the ticket area & picked up our Alhambra tickets for later in the day. A sandwich lunch at the Parador with Sangria. Very hot again. We toured the Alhambra - stunning of course, all afternoon. Back to the room for a siesta & dinner at the Parador. Same price again (27 Euro for 3 courses) + Margu?s de C?ceres Gran Reserva 1995 (28 Euro). The wait staff collapsed 1/2 through dinner & I complained to the restaurant manager. Quality & services was not even close to the other Paradors which had 'gourmet' food. Here it was just OK. We walked the Alhambra grounds in the dark. It was magical, but all of the 'good' areas were closed for the night.
