GRANADA HIGHLIGHTS
Do you want to see Granada? or Feel Granada
Who does not know The Alhambra or the Albaicín. Who has not tried the Tapas, nor admired the profile of Sierra Nevada. We don’t want to tell you the obvious. We want you to know the brushstrokes of what makes your trip, you end up calling it “The Journey”.
Better known as the "Calle de las Teterías". As traditional as it is colorful and as magical as it is narrow. Let yourself be carried away by its atmosphere and you will think of being in another city.
This small great street is part of the Lower Albaicín, full of bazaars that remind us of the old Arab souks. As soon as we started walking its narrow “cobbled Granadino” road, we felt what it must have been like to live in a Moorish Medina. It is the perfect place to buy all those gifts that we want to take back in our luggage, from Fajalauza ceramics to the best details of Moroccan crafts.
And drink tea. This itself must be mandatory. Enter any of its tea shops, order an infusion of “Thousand Flowers” and let your mind fly. You will not regret this stop.

Técnicamente no es una isla, ya que no se encuentra completamente rodeada de agua. No obstante, las modificaciones en el cauce del Guadalquivir hicieron que, tras la corta de la Cartuja, esta zona pasara a estar bordeada por la dársena y el río y de ahí su actual nombre. La Exposición Universal de 1992 la urbanizó con pabellones de países y otras instalaciones, y se dotó de infraestructuras el entorno, que luego serían aprovechadas por el Parque Tecnológico e Isla Mágica. Cabe destacar la Torre de Triana y el Parque del Alamillo. Sobre este parque, se conoce que ya en el siglo XVII existía una zona en Sevilla llamada “El Alamillo”, mencionada incluso por Miguel de Cervantes, en su obra “El Rufián Dichoso” de 1615, y lo más probable es que se corresponda con ese lugar.
