Granada is the land of a thousand castles, and the charming air of its fascinating history can be seen around every corner. Drawn by the allure of the Alhambra, many visitors head to Granada full of mystery and awe when stumbling upon a city filled with opulent Islamic architecture and authentic street culture, partnered eclectically with monumental churches and traditional tapas bars. A city undoubtedly infused with a rich history, Granada was the last stronghold of the Spanish Moors and their legacy lies all around: experience a taste of Arabia in the heart of Andalucía.
The Allegro Granada offers a contemporary escape exceptionally located in the Beiro neighbourhood, bordering the city centre. The cheerfully decorated rooms are practical and functional, offering complete comfort and outstanding facilities with unbeatable access to the city centre. Less than 10 minutes from the train station, 15 minutes on foot to the centre of Granada, and just steps from sights such as the Plaza de Toros, the Allegro’s proximity to the old quarters, accessibility, and location on a quiet square make it the perfect option for visiting Granada. Be sure to check out the rooftop swimming pool and sun terrace for magnificent views of the sunsets that crown this beautiful city.
The city of Granada is an unparalleled melting pot of flavours, smells, and passion, filling its streets with a vibrant energy and cultural gems scattered along every track. The historic Arab quarter boasts lavish architecture, bona fide teahouses, and an enticing aroma of spices from the authentic street stalls. Most spectacular, of course, is the Alhambra, a 1000-year-old palace complex that rises at the foot of the Sierra Nevada mountain range and whose astonishing Islamic décor and landscape gardens are unrivalled elsewhere on the continent.
Delve into the exciting mix of cultures which built the foundations of this city. Meander through the Realejo quarter inhabiting the southeast-facing slopes of the Alhambra hill, once the city’s main Jewish quarter and home to the Casa Museo Manuel de Falla, the original residence of Spain’s greatest 20th-century classical composer. Dance an authentic flamenco in the street labyrinth of the Albayzín, indulge in complimentary tapas plates in the cosy bars, and marvel at the snow-capped Sierra Nevada for an encapsulating and remarkable souvenir of your adventure in Granada.
