# Granada in 2 days: day by day

> Two days in Granada combine city and mountains. Day one covers the Alhambra's Nasrid Palaces, the Generalife gardens and the Palace of Charles V, then the white Albaicín quarter and sunset at San Nicolás. Day two is a trip to the Sierra Nevada an hour away: skiing in winter, cool mountain trails in summer. In the evening there's still time for flamenco in Sacromonte.

## How the two days work

Day one is classic Granada: the Alhambra in the morning on your timed ticket, then the Albaicín after lunch and sunset over the fortress. Everything is close together, linked by minibuses.

Day two starts early, as the bus to the Sierra Nevada takes about 50 minutes and winter days are short. In winter, ski or snowboard at Pradollano; in summer, hike to lakes and viewpoints. Back in town by evening, catch a flamenco show in the Sacromonte caves.

Remove any stop with the cross or drag it with ≡, add something nearby, and the timings update.

## Where to eat

On day one, have tapas for lunch in the centre or Realejo, where a snack comes free with every drink, and dinner on an Albaicín terrace facing the Alhambra.

In the mountains there are cafés and restaurants in Pradollano by the lifts, but they're pricey and busy in season, so pack a snack. In Sacromonte, dine in a cave restaurant before the show.

## Tips for two days

Book the Alhambra ahead, and buy ski passes and rentals online, where they're cheaper. Check the forecast and road conditions: in winter you may need chains, and upper lifts close in high winds.

Even in summer, take warm layers to the mountains, which are about 12 degrees colder than the city. The sun at altitude is strong, so sunscreen and sunglasses are essential. Book your Sacromonte flamenco show for the second evening in advance.

## If you have more time

With a third day, explore the [Sacromonte](https://yesgo.io/spain/granada/sacromonte) caves by day and visit the cave museum, or drive to the white Alpujarra villages on the southern slopes.

## Tips

- The Alhambra on a timed ticket.
- Head to the mountains early.
- Warm layers even in summer.
- Flamenco on the second evening.
- Spain uses the euro. Cards and contactless are accepted almost everywhere. Book the Sagrada Família, Park Güell and the Gaudí houses ahead on their official sites, which list entry times and closing days.
