How this is organised

Twenty sights, one page each. Each says how far it is on foot from the cathedral, whether it is ticketed, and what is actually worth your attention once you are inside.

⚠️ Granada is compact but it is on a hill. The Alhambra, the Albaicín and Sacromonte all involve a real climb, and that is the thing people underestimate rather than the distance.

If you only have one day

The Alhambra in your booked slot, the Albaicín in the late afternoon, and the Mirador before sunset. That is the city's outline.
