1. Go for tapas at a hole in the wall called “Bar Arco Iris.” It’s located just inside the Elvira gate at the bottom of the Cuesta de Abarqueros. No phone.
2. Each fondue at a place called El Aguas. Located on Aljibe de Trillo in the Albaicin neighborhood.
3. Go see a concert in the Alhambra Palace or else the Manuel de Falla concert hall. You can get tickets by going to the Corral de Carbon near the Plaza Nueva.
4. Take a night walk through the grounds of the Alhambra. Open for free Thursdays 10-12 p.m.
5. Meander the Moorish shuk on the Calderería Vieja Street, just half a minute from the Plaza Nueva.
6. Visit the Casa-Museo Federico García Lorca.
7. Go see a flamenco show in an actual gypsy cave! Your best bet is Cuevas Los Tarantos, located in the Sacromonte. Phone is: 958-224-525.
8. This recommendation is in all of the guidebooks, because it is a MUST! Walk through the Albaicin (old Moorish Quarter) up to the Plaza de San Nicolas and take in the view of the Alhambra Palace and the snow-capped Sierra Nevadas in the distance.
9. Eat an ice cream in the Plaza Bibarrambla, located just a few steps from the cathedral.
