There are some red minibuses in Granada which are specially designed to go around the narrow streets found in the old part of town.

They have circular routes and it is even not a bad idea to just get on one for the ride.

The 31 minibus goes around the Albaicín.
There is an image of the route here.

There is a page on it here

The most notable stop is Mirador de San Nicolas which is probably one of the best views in the world..
See pictures.

The 32 minibus goes around the Albaicín like the 31 but also goes up to the Alhambra.

Note: (at the time of writing July 2009)
The bus normally would go straight up the Cuesta Gomeres but there are roadworks up there right now. I don't know if the "desvio" (detour) is permanent or temporary.

Most people who don't want to walk up the steep Cuesta Gomeres to the Alhambra  will catch the 32.

The buses:
Start at 7.50am and go on until 23.00
The frequency is supposed to be every 7 minites but it is more like 12 minutes.

If you are staying at a hotel or apartment on the route it many be a good idea to get a "bono" ticket.
This is a ticket valid for several journeys.

The bono cards are available on the bus itself.

1 Journey is about 1.10 euros.

It costs 2 euros for the card itself. (this is refundable if you retuen it) 
10 euros gets you 16 trips
One card can be used for serveal people.
ie: you can get on with 5 people and pay for all of them with one card.
