Discover Granada
Travel back in time, savor the cultures, stroll through alleys.
Alhambra
The most breathtaking Arab citadel in the world and the most visited monument in Spain, is situated on the crest of Sabika Hill. You can reach it from the Hotel Porcel Navas with a 15-minute walk.
Sierra Nevada
Sierra Nevada National Park, which includes the highest point of the Iberian Peninsula, Mulhacén, is a top tourist destination for snow sports lovers. Skiing down the slopes of Sierra Nevada and taking in the stunning scenery is an experience you can enjoy just a 40-minute drive from the hotel.
Granada Cathedral
Built at the behest of Isabella the Catholic on the site of the ancient Great Mosque, this Renaissance masterpiece, which was initially designed as a Gothic temple, has received praise from countless writers and historians and is a cornerstone of Spanish architectural heritage.
El Albaicín
The Albaicín is one of Granada’s most charming neighborhoods. A World Heritage Site, it’s worth venturing into its narrow streets to enjoy its charm, tapas bars and the spectacular views from the San Nicolás Viewpoint.
La Alcaicería
The Alcaicería is the name given to markets permitted to trade silk in the cities of al-Andalus. This former Arab bazaar, along with Seville’s, was one of the most significant in Spain. Destroyed by a fire in the 19th century, it is now a popular shopping district where you can find souvenirs and traditional Granadan crafts, such as the famous Fajalauza pottery and inlaid woodwork or taracea.
