How to get to Alhambra Apartments

We are inside Granada´s old arab neighbourhood, Albaicín, Driving through these streets is not easy. Our reccommendation is to go directly to a public parking (see the list at the bottom) or book one of our parking spaces.

If you arrive by Train or Bus, the easiest way is taking a taxi. Before seating in the taxi, make sure you inform the driver that your are going to "San Juan de los Reyes" street, not all Taxis can drive through it.

If you have a car and want to come closer to the apartments to drop your luggage, make sure you read this guide because it has important information to avoid fines or damages in your car.

Driving through the Albaicin in Granada.

Parking. 
Even if is possible to arrive by car to the apartments door, parking is almost impossible. We now have 2 parking places available for guests for just 15€/day. Contact us to reserve one.
We also have an agreement with San Agustin Parking for 20€/day.

Access
There is limited access to the neighbourhood. To get to the apartments you need to enter by "Pages Street" Currently, access is open to everybody from 2PM to 8PM. As our guest, we can register your car to be allowed at any time. Contact us to send your car details before arrival.

GPS
GPS systems often fail giving wrong directions. It is reccommended to plan ahead and memorize some key turns when your GPS might fail. The only possible access to the neigbourhood is through Calle Pagés. Any other route is wrong or more complicated.

Narrow Streets

If you plan to leave your luggage at the apartments door, you need to drive through San Juan de los Reyes street, which has a narrow part of 1.8m. Make sure your car width is less than 1,84m. The closest point to leave your luggage is 300m away.
The access to our private garage is possible for almost every car. If you have a van or a very long car, contact us before for instructions.

Beaware of traffic signs

When driving through a different city, you might be focus on your navigation system. But you need to keep an eye in traffic signs which warn you about some other rules ignored by the GPS. Restricted lanes for bus or taxis or street size are some examples.

Parking San Agustín

Probably the better located parking in Granada, but for the same reason, the most expensive. It is the closest to Alhambra Apartments, around 10 minutes walking. During some peak hours you could find it full.
We have an agreement with them for 20€/day.

Parking Puerta Real

Another option with good location in Granada centre. Aroung 15 minutes walking to the apartments.

Parking Triunfo

We are going further from the apartments, but is still a nice 20 minutes walk through Gran Vía. It has an easy access after leaving the highway.

Parking San Cristóbal

This is the only parking in the Albaicin, with easy access from Carretera de Murcia. It is within 15 minutes walk, but through narrow cobblestone streets and stairs, not easy if you carry a troley.

Parking Luna

If you hate driving in the cities and avoid confusing gps directions, this is your best option. You will find this parking right after leaving the highway. It has a good rating in Google too.

Parking Traumatología

This is probably the most economic option. Is a bit out of the way, near the bus station and some shopping malls.

On-street Parking

In the following map we include some areas where you can park for free and relatively safe.
