Overall

This was my 1st trip overseas and what a trip it was! Granada's locals are extremely helpful and friendly, particularly if you speak a little Spanish. El Realejo is a great nightlife spot, and the Tapas, although a few Euro, are excellent. Manchego cheese in Spanish olive oil, sausage sandwiches, and a drink or two go for €5-€8 total. If you're an architecture fan, the city is blended magnificently between 5 cultures: Moorish, Jewish, Christian, Romani, and Modern. Many of the sidewalks are inlaid with white marble, and there's fountains and parks everywhere. You can be a tourist without ever having to visit the tourist spots. Plenty to do and see. Very safe city, though reasonable precautions should be taken. Purse snatching is common, so wear a money belt or some other alternative. The exchange rate from dollars to euros may be awful, but you'll find your money goes a very long way in Granada. I spent 4 days in the city and fed two people the whole time on less than €70.
