Best Towns to Visit in Granada Province (Not Including the Alpujarras)

Granada province stretches from the coast - Costa Tropical  to the north and borders with Spain's largest Natural Park (which is in the neighbouring province of Jaen) Parque Natural de Cazorla, Segura y Las Villas. Cazorla Town and National Park Within its boundaries lie the ski slopes of Sierra Nevada and the highest peak on mainland Spain, Mulhacen. Its diverse, beautiful, wild and yet a garden of paradise where tropical fruits grow. I'm going to share with you a couple of my favourite 'best towns to visit' in Granada Province, which don't include the villages of the Alpujarras - that's another day, another post and another holiday, so huge is Granada! Picturesque Castril Almost as far north as you can get while staying in Granada province is the fabulous town of Castril.  A mountain town with an abundance of water creating a small, yet fast flowing river with tumbling waterfalls.

Spain - UK - Spain Again

After another not so pleasant trip back to the UK again, I´m a champion of ParkingMar in San Julian just 1km out from Malaga airport. My only complaint is that they don´t valet the inside of my car!

It shines for ages after it has been under their care for 5 Euro a day. I take it in filthy mainly due to the mass of growth and the sparrows that like to roost in the vine and honeysuckle shade I created for the cars.

Hubby even noticed, several days later, that my car was (different) clean and shiny.

I left Birmingham airport at 6.50am on Tuesday morning with a cloudless sky and arrived to rain and it has on and off ever since.

But - rain means not so cold overnight. Rain means cloud and no frost. How can I complain? Please tell me.

If you´re looking for cheaper parking at Malaga airport take the turning to the airport, at the roundabout take direction Malaga then San Julian. The parking (I think it´s ParkingMar) that I´ve used several times is the first one under the bridge on the left. A great and helpful bunch of chaps and excellent washers of cars.

Hopefully there´ll be no more emergency and follow-up UK trips for a while.

Buses and trains are frequent from outside arrivals, there are two direct buses to Granada a day, otherwise it´s a bus into Malaga bus station and then plenty of connections are available.
