When we went in I discovered that the print came in a variety of colors, a perfect gift for many friends. I purchased 6 of them. When I got home I realized I had not selected one for myself! So I sent a letter to the store from the U.S. along with enough (left over) euros to cover the cost and the shipping, then I crossed my fingers. I was so happy when I went to the mail today and found a package with the print inside! Thank you so much Caravansar!

We did not visit the museum, unless you count the gift shop. We did however attend the flamenco theater. The play is about a poem written by a respected Granada writer. The poem is about incest and rape, so not a very happy play. The performance is an interpretation of the poem with the use of music, song, and flamenco dance. There's not a lot of participants (two dancers and two musicians) and the venue seats about 20 people. The performers are very humble and true thespians, performing solely to entertain and enjoy their craft. Very talented performers so I would recommend this if you are in the mood for something a little bit different and unique.

This place is closer to the city center than the others but still you need to climb some small hills to get there, and more if you follow the google map directions, lol. The show was astonishing. The show is in cave, which adds more character to the presentation. The dancers seemed to be enjoying what they were doing and they were dancing like they were in front of a big or knowledgeable audience. I do not know much about this dance , but I found the show very entertaining and I could feel all the emotion from the dancing . All dancers were good but one of the female dancer was extraordinary. I think it was my highlight of the Granada trip. Well done !!

Simply put, this is one of the best ways you can spend your money in Granada…read more I can't speak to the food. I didn't eat there, and I don't recommend you do, either. Just go to hear the music and see the dance. You don't want to be that clown clinking your silverware while a woman is pouring her heart out on stage. That will happen, especially among certain tourist groups from certain countries renowned for their discourtesy. (If you want to get a drink, they're not great here, but that's more acceptable. Just be respectful about when you set your glass back down.) El Templo del Flamenco is a *fantastic* music and dance experience. There's one male singer, one female, one guitarist, one guy who claps (and sometimes dances) and two women who clap, stomp and dance. The music is passionate. The performances are powerful. The venue (a hidden, whitewashed cave) is unique. You will have a great time, guaranteed. I was seriously wowed by the talent on display. As I mentioned, I was deeply annoyed that waiters would frequently have to service tables in the middle of performances. And I was annoyed that certain tourist groups from certain countries renowned for their discourtesy had no idea how to silence their cameras so they wouldn't chime every time they went to take a picture. And I was annoyed that certain-certains also had a way of clinking their silverware at the absolute worst musical moments. But if you can get past that, you will see amazing artists at the top of their game, giving you passion that could melt stone. Video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lEnd3De0Jak Grand finale video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=omGk3iyZklA Warning: El Templo del Flamenco is *seriously* difficult to find. I wrote them in advance to secure our place and they had one of their employees meet us (and others) at the Puerta de Elvira (an easy-to-find monument). From there, you ascend *several* winding staircases to get to the venue. It's not an easy climb unless your middle name is Stairmaster. If you miss the escort, it may be possible to find the venue with an offline map app, like "maps.me," although such offline maps tend to be woefully incomplete. You will be shocked at how hidden this place is. Warning #2: If you attend the later of the two performances, be sure to have eaten *before* the show. Granada tends to shut down earlier than other Spanish towns we visited, so we were literally racing from closed restaurant to closed restaurant, searching in vain for something open that late. Come with a full belly and you'll be happier. (If you attend the first performance of the night, most restaurants should be at your disposal for a post-show meal.)

You sit very close together in a small cave and the dancers are inches away from you. I realize this is not just some romantic dance but a powerful way of communicating strong emotions. The dancers are incredibly talented, emotive, precise, energetic! They playfully interact with the audience, one of the performers taking the hat off my head and improvising a dance with it-- incredible! The level of physical skill required is breathtaking, like the fastest tap dancer you've ever seen you wonder how they can move their feet that fast. This was absolutely one of the highlights of my visit to Spain, and it could be for you, too.

The hostess was incredibly welcoming and not only helped me purchase a ticket on the spot, but also walked me inside the theater to make sure I got the best seat. Depending on which show and ticket option you select from, a paella dinner is offered, which I wish I had discovered sooner! Since the seating was more theater-style, my seats at Jardines de Zoraya were better. However, the performance itself wasn't as impressive as the other shows I saw during my trip. They leaned a bit too much into contemporary elements with their outfits, when in reality, most tourists are looking for the classic flamenco experience--polka dots, ruffled dresses, and all.

One of the highlights of visiting Grenada is the Alhambra. My husband had it on his wishlist of…read moreplaces to visit so I booked tickets online via their official website ahead of time when I knew we would be in port. Since our port day was 11 hours, we booked a very expensive bus ride (cruise excursion) from the cruise port in Motril to Grenada. The bus dropped us off steps from the Alhambra and we were able to access the grounds with our prebooked tickets. I chose the 2 pm timeslot for the Nasrid Palace. We were dropped off around 11:15 am so we were able to walk the gardens and all the other spaces prior to gaining access to the palace. The Alhambra is one of the most famous monuments of Islamic architecture built in 1238 by Muhammad I Ibn al-Ahmar, the first Nasrid emir. After the conclusion of the Christian Reconquista in 1492, the site became the Royal Court of Ferdinand and Isabella (where Christopher Columbus received royal endorsement for his expedition to seek out the Indies and spices). In 1812, it was partially destroyed by Napoleon's troops. The Alhambra has been the subject of numerous restorations since the 19th century. It is now one of Spain's major tourist attractions and a UNESCO World Heritage Site. My husband and I spent the majority of our day exploring the Alhambra's grounds. We visited the Palace of Charles V, the Court of Lions, the Nasrid Palace, the Lindajara Courtyard, and the hammam. It's a vast complex of buildings and gardens. In the hot Spanish sun, we walked around marveling at the architecture and the grounds. They have an app to guide you through but the WiFi is spotty. It is beautiful and it is obvious they are preserving the history here. We just wandered around until we needed to grab lunch and head back to the bus.

It's one of the most famous architectural wonders of Islamic architecture and is one of the best preserved places in the world of islamic origin (mixed with Spanish Renaissance architecture). Our ticket included access to all visitable places of the complex (a lot free to the public), Nasrid palace (timed entrance), the gardens and the Generalife (former country estate). We did an unguided tour, so I felt like we missed out on the history a bit as we walked through the palace - it reminded us of the Real Alcazar from Seville, but bigger and more grand in scale. I'm glad our ticket was for 10AM because the grounds only got busier throughout the morning.
