What to do in Granada / Re: Guided Tour, audio guide or go it alone at the Alhambra?

It depends if you want to walk around at your own pace without commentary or walk around with a group with a guide who is telling you things.

Only you can decide which you would prefer.

Getting a ticket would be easier if you get a guided tour because you don't have to understand anything except turn up at the start.

You can browse all the companies who offer guided tours here

https://granadainfo.com/alhambra_ticket_search.htm

or go and buy your own ticket without guide here

https://tickets.alhambra-patronato.es/en/

A way of doing your own thing and also having commentary is an audio guide.

What to do in Granada / Guided Tour, audio guide or go it alone at the Alhambra?
« Last post by John on June 07, 2018, 11:33:43 PM »
Should I just try and book a ticket for the Alhambra and walk around it myself or is it worth paying extra for a guided tour?

The ski station is incredibly expensive.

It may be better to get a place in Granada and go up every day.
One of the online places which do longer term accommodation is Spotahome.

Hello!

Could anyone advise me on finding a room or studio for the winter? Either in the ski village or Granada itself (although this would be difficult for me to get the mountain every day and the bus seems expensive?)

Thanks in advance!

Getting around in Granada / Re: Renting a small motorbike in Granada

Rent a motorbike in Granada Spain

Driving round Granada is an excellent way of getting around. I have driven a small vespa for the last 15 years.
The only problem is that the helmet messes up my hair.  You can go up any street that a bus or taxi can so it is much more usefull than a car.

It is possible rent motorbikes in Granada.

The cheapest is a about 20 euros per day for less than a week.
If you rent one for 3 weeks the price would be 12 euros per day or 600 euros.

This would get you a 50cc Yamaha Neos which would be ideal for getting around Granada.

50cc Yamaha Neos
Minimum age: 21 years
Min. Experience: 1 years
Car license: Allowed

You can get bigger bikes but you may have to have a motorbike licence. 

There is almost no rain between May and September so it is perfect.
The weather is not too bad the rest of the year and I use my vespa all year.

Many years ago I have driven down to the coast on a 125 between Christmas and New Year.
The weather was fine.
