Granada
The Alhambra above, the Albaicín's tangled lanes below, and free tapas still arriving with every drink.
Granada sits at the foot of the Sierra Nevada, which keeps it cooler than the rest of Andalusia and gives it snow-capped views most Spanish cities don't have. The Albaicín's steep lanes hold most of the city's better bars and grills, a short climb from the centre but a different pace entirely.
