Once in Granada, you’ll enjoy approximately 2 hours to explore the Nasrid-style streets, visit the Cathedral of Granada—a Renaissance gem symbolizing the triumph of the Catholic Monarchs in 1492—and discover the Plaza Nueva, the oldest square in Granada and a hub in the historic centre. Take in views from the Torre de la Vela, wander down the famous Calle Elvira, known as the street of tea shops, and enjoy the city’s renowned tapas in its many central bars and restaurants.
