Semi-precious stones, jewelry, art, cards, etc!! ALL QUALITY ITEMS. The owner gives excellent service and is very friendly. I walked away with a a great pair of earrings. If you are ever in Granada, this shop is a must!

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!

Plus six tickets to ride the red buses that wind up the hills and around the city on loop routes. Take your bus rides! Pony up the 1.40 if you don't have the passes. The views are amazing, especially at sunset. The buses themselves are very small, to wind through narrow roads laid out in the Middle Ages (or earlier). I'd been to cathedrals and the like in Barcelona, Madrid, Toledo and Seville. And when you've seen eight of em, the modern museum sounds like a good break. I took the C5 bus and walked about 10 minutes to the museum, which is a large modern building and impossible to miss. Much to my surprise, I had the place to myself. There are four large interactive galleries on the history and culture of the area. The interactive part is Nintendo Wii style, but a little buggy. A staff member came with me to get me going. You stand on the red dots and point at topics and characters to get their stories. English is an option. There are large walls with panoramic displays and related physical exhibits in front of them. Glass cases with related objects are nearby. The first two floors each have two of these permanent interactive galleries. The top floor has temporary exhibits. It's not the Guggenheim or MOMA, but it's good, and the walk back to the center of town along the canal shows hows the locals live,

Where to begin other than to say that I highly recommend Paco Luque of Aixa Dreams Luxury & Events…read moreTravel! We had originally planned on going to Spain and Portugal right before COVID. 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!
