I have been to Granada many times, and to Alhambra a couple of times, always on my own (but then again, it is easier when you live just 400 km away). Alhambra is one of those tourist attractions that really delivers on the promise. I love it. Between Christmas and New Year my wife and children (both will be here, yes!) will want to go skiing, so we may well spend a couple of days in nearby Sierra Nevada. As I do not ski, I usually spend the days prowling the streets of Granada with my camera while the rest of the family is on the slopes.
