I queried a restaurant proprietor about distance & height from the base & he said: "La subida no es tan mala y no está demasiado lejos. Un poco!" Un poco! I don't think so. Still, I would do it again, both for the magnificent views and for the uniqueness of the caves. Some of the 16th-century Santas Cuevas (Holy Caves) have been converted into McMansions but most remain modest and subtly expressive. If you think the walk is too much, take a cab to the top and enjoy a meal and Flamenco performance in the neighborhood that claims to be one of Flamenco's birth places. But do not miss Sacromonte--a profound look into Granada's complex history.

Please note that my review is of the walk up Camino del Sacromonte and not of any of the…read moreattractions that you will find in the area. The cave pictures that you see when you google Sacromonte and see the caves are posted are from the Museum of the Sacromonte caves or from one of the flamenco venues in the area. As for the walk on Camino del Sacromonte you will get rewarded with a nice photo of the Alhambra but you won't see into any cave homes along the way. If you want to see the caves then go to the museum or make arrangements with one of the flamenco shows. We didn't go to a show here but many outfits will pick you up from central Granada to watch a flamenco show, give you a free drink and then drive you back down back to town for 20 Euros.

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.

In Granada, it pays to look into side streets. On one such alley off busy Carrera del Darro is a…read more17th century building built in the mudejar style, the Casa de Los Pisa, which houses the Archivo Museo San Juan de Dios. For three euro, a guided tour is provided. The nature and layout of the museum does not allow independent exploration, but that shouldn't be seen as a drawback. The museum contains centuries of objects related directly or indirectly to San Juan de Dios, who was born in Portugal and ended his life in Granada, in the very house that the museum is in. He was a nurse and was canonized for his work in healthcare, particularly mental health, and there are numerous health care institutions associated with him. It is from these sometimes far flung places on five continents that the museum's eclectic collection of artifacts originate, and it is unsurprising that many have no particular relation to each other or even to San Juan. Many of the artifacts are donations and while most are interesting on their own, they often don't form a cohesive story; even the guide acknowledged that the museum doesn't know much about some of them. Among the objects, of various media and forms, are ornate walking sticks, gold and silver threaded clothing, carved ivory or wood, centuries old paintings, and metal work. There are works from Africa, Asia, South America, and more. The tour greatly helped with putting the objects on display in some context. Besides numerous religious objects, there is also a beautiful series of paintings of streets and places in Granada associated with San Juan de Dios, painted by a Granadian artist. The museum's prized exhibits are San Juan de Dios' only personal belongings (a careworn basket and walking stick) and the room he passed away in. Our guide provided the tour in English. Of course available in Spanish. A worthwhile way to spend some time in Granada.

Needless to say, our plans were cancelled. In rethinking our travel, we decided to seek help and were connected to Paco. From the very beginning, Paco listened carefully to our interests, and meticulously planned every aspect of our journey. Our drivers, guides, and hotels were first class all the way (without breaking our budget). He organized special tasting menus at Michelin Star Restaurants, admission and tickets to exhibits- UNESCO, historical sites, museums- as well as train tickets. During our travels, Paco was in touch daily to ensure that everything went smoothly. It was an added pleasure to actually get to meet Paco when we were in Granada. He was just as we had imagined: warm, friendly, and easy to talk to. If you want to have an amazing experience when traveling in Spain, Portugal, or Morocco, seek out Paco. He is "A++" all the way!
