The Cathedral of the Incarnation took almost two centuries to build, starting in 1523. It was the first Renaissance church in the country. Interestingly enough, the Cathedral’s foundations were designed for Gothic-style building, but then the plans changed. The vast interior is remarkable for its intricate decorations and beautiful stained-glass windows. Visit this Cathedral — and you will be stunned by its splendour!

These mountains, easily visible from the most popular viewpoints in Granada, are a 30-minutes ride from the city. The area is easily accessible by bus, car or taxi. Those fond of skiing will appreciate the Sierra Nevada Ski Station, which hosts World Cup races. It is arguably one of the best skiing spots in Spain! In summer you can choose from hiking, mountain biking, and attending music festivals. Don’t miss the striking suspension bridges of Los Cahorros!

Local tea houses specialize in traditional Arabian tea brews with sugar and mint. You can have some sweet snacks like baklava to go with the tea. Besides, Granada teterias can offer you some milkshakes and fruit juices. Usually, they are quite small and dim-light, which creates a special atmosphere. Some serve food as well as tea and sweets, but that is not very common.
