Found at the foot of the Sierra Nevada mountains and home to the striking Alhambra, Granada is one of Spain's most desired destinations.

In this video, I'm sharing exactly how to spend three wonderful days in Granada, covering everything from the iconic Alhambra and Nasrid Palaces to hidden gardens that rival the famous ones, an authentic flamenco experience in the caves of Sacromonte, and a stunning countryside hotel just 30 minutes from the city centre.

We explore the city with a walking food tour through Granada's, visiting the old bazaar, tasting local specialities, and learning about the Moorish and Romani heritage that shaped this place. Then we wandered through the Albaicín's narrow cobbled streets, watched flamenco in the caves of Sacromonte, and finished with a restorative stay at a 16th-century farm estate surrounded by olive groves and mountain views.

Whether you're planning your first trip to Granada or looking for hidden gems, I hope this guide gets you excited for your trip.
