What different things are there in Granada for couples? 

❤️ Drink Moorish tea in a tea shop

Walking and wandering through Granada’s oldest quarter streets is in itself a different experience. In Caldería Nueva Street, in the Albaicín neighbourhood, you will feel as if you were travelling to Morocco. In just a few minutes, the appearance of the streets, their clotheslines and shops, take you back to the Muslim period.

Be sure to enjoy a hot tea with their delicious Moorish pastries in a very unique atmosphere. And if you like to try new experiences, you can smoke a Hookah.

❤️ Visit the Alhambra & Generalife with a private guide

Let your imagination fly back to medieval times when the city was known as the Kingdom of Granada. Experience the eight Centuries of Muslim civilization transition and contemplate its legacy. Do not miss its incomparable Nasrid palaces.

Understand what the transformation from Islam to Christianity was like. Enjoy this unique cultural fusion that is still preserved in such excellent condition.

On this Granada for couples’ private tour, we will visit the entire Alhambra complex and its beautiful gardens. I will reveal its secret and guide you to enjoy its history and beauty.

In addition, you can benefit from all these other advantages: go at your own pace, decide your own timetable, absolute flexibility to take photos together (I know the best places to do it) and stops for shopping, bathing, picnics, whatever you need.

❤️ Feel and live the true gypsy flamenco

In any part of Spain, you can find an offer to enjoy flamenco, but only in Granada you can do it in an authentic cave.  The caves have been home to the Granada’s gypsies since medieval times.

However, if you want to live and feel the Granada’s gypsy’s flamenco dance, you have to go to a Zambra in the Sacromonte district. The Granada’s Zambra or gypsy’s Zambra is an evolution of Moorish music, and is also the name to the caves where the music is played.

If you want to have this experience, please contact me to make a reservation.

❤️ An intimate and relaxing time

Among the activities you can do in Granada for couples, relaxing in a Hamman is one of the most recommended.  The Granada’s Hamman is an Arabic Andalusian bath, where you can disconnect from everything around you and connect with your couple.

Another interesting place is the Beer Spa Granada. It offers circuits with a beer bath in a barrel, beer tasting and treatments. This place is a brewer’s paradise.

❤️ Granada for couples in winter 

If you like skiing and you visit Granada in winter, you cannot miss the opportunity to practice this winter sport. The Sierra Nevada ski resort is less than 45 minutes away by car.

Our resort offers you the best slopes with a sunny day in Spain and the most romantic sunsets as a loved one. On clear days you can see the African continent from its summits.

Rent your equipment, book private lessons, or just hit the slopes and feel the adrenaline rush.

❤️ The perfume of Granada for couples

Make your own perfume! Express your creativity in a personalized two-hour workshop, led by an expert perfumer, who will help you create your own fragrance with natural ingredients.

Discover with your sense of smell the perfumes’ composition secrets and their raw materials.

At the end of the workshop you will be able to take home your best trip souvenir to Granada, an exclusive 50ml perfume in a spray bottle.

Gastronomic experience in Granada for couples

❤️ Dinner with Alhambra views

Granada is divided by a river, the Darro, and has two hills on either side.  This division allows you to have amazing views of the city.

I recommend you to book a dinner in a “Carmen granadino”.  A Carmen is a house with an orchard garden, inspired by the original Muslim dwelling. They have large walls to preserve interior privacy.  They are “closed places for all and an open paradise for few”.

Many of them are now restaurants with a rich gastronomic offer and the attraction of having unique Alhambra views.

Enjoying good company, a delicious meal and those views will be an experience that you will never forget. Essential in the guide of Granada for couples!

❤️ Halal gastronomic experience

A delightful Halal menu awaits you after our tour through the Albaicín streets.  My Moroccan friend will cook exclusively for you in her own home traditional dishes.

This local experience will make you feel at home.

❤️ Granada Tapa Tour

Granada is known for its generous tapas.  The offer is huge, so if you let yourself be guided by a local, like me, you will be able to taste the best tapas.

The proposal includes a walk through the Granada Historic Center with stops to taste the typical and traditional cuisine of Granada.

❤️ Private Master Class

Tasting and sampling the delicacies of a place with local raw materials is another way of discovering a city.  But what happens when you go home?  You do not know how to cook such tasty recipes that remind your experience.

That is why I invite you to book a Private Master Class with a chef from Granada.  The chef will teach you the secrets learned from generation to generation so that you can cook your own paella.

You will feel proud when you can taste your own creation and when you return home you will be able to show off your new skills like a real chef.

❤️ Tropical Experience: sugar cane, rum and tropical fruits

For those of you who are travelling to Granada and have more time (8 hours), I suggest a trip along the Granada coast.

Our coastline has a subtropical microclimate with 320 days of sunshine a year and an average temperature of 20º C.  These climatic conditions allow the cultivation of the tropical fruits.

The objective of this visit is to get to know and taste the local area gastronomic heritage by means of a journey through time.

You have already seen that there are many things to do in Granada for couples. I look forward to meeting you and guide you through them.
