The Granada City Guides settle the questions every visitor has: how to get into the Alhambra when tickets look sold out, which bars still bring a generous free tapa with your drink, where to watch the sun set over the palaces without hundreds of other people and how to reach the Alpujarras or the sea by bus. Each guide is a short list with an opinion: why a place is worth it, what to order or look for and one practical tip, and it opens on your phone as soon as you pay.

Three places from the guides
Bar Ávila Tapas
Calle Verónica de la Virgen 16, Centro
A neighbourhood favourite for the size of its free tapas: roast pork, stews, battered dogfish. A queue builds before the evening opening, and service stays quick even when the bar is packed. From the food guide.
Palacio de Dar al-Horra
Callejón de las Monjas, upper Albaicín
The 15th-century home of Aisha, mother of Boabdil, the last Nasrid king: a calm courtyard and a tower looking out across the Albaicín. Few visitors climb this far. From the things to do guide.
La Herradura
La Herradura, 10 minutes by bus from Almuñécar
A sheltered, horseshoe-shaped bay of smooth pebbles, calmer than Almuñécar and the place divers and snorkellers head for, with a row of fish restaurants behind the beach. From the day trips guide.
Finish the game, start the tapas
World City Trail’s Granada scavenger hunt, escape game and audio tour lead you through the historic centre. When the game is done, the guides take over: a tapas round on Calle Navas, sunset at a quiet mirador in the Albaicín, a bus down to the Costa Tropical or the science park for a rainy afternoon.
