All you need do is to choose" Granada's position means that there are a wide choice of activities waiting for you throughout Andalucia. Laze about and do nothing, or go out and about. Even if you chose to do something different each and every morning, afternoon and evening you would still leave a lot of activities unexplored, there are so many things to do here. Here are our top ten activities:-
THRILLING TO FLAMENCO. Flamenco is is high on the list of things to do for many visitors to Andalucia. Flamenco is believed to have originated in the Sacromonte area of Granada. It is an exciting dance, practised throughout Spain,and especially Andalucia. In the Sacromonte, the cave houses are still inhabited by gypsies and it is here that you can enjoy the high energy and emotion of REAL flamenco. We can recommend a variety of venues in Granada and in Padul where tourists can witness and even take part in this special dance. It is a must-see for anyone wanting to see the Real Spain. 
SKIING. For the best skiing in Spainīs top location for winter sports there really is no choice - go to the nearby Sierra Nevada mountains. For most of the winter the skiing is made just perfect by the brilliant sunshine. And from the top of the Veleta peak, when the days are clear, skiers can see across to Morocco. The Ski village is just 30 minutes drive from Granada. You can hire equipment and even hire the use of a trainer to improve your skiing technique. For many people skiing is one of the "must" things to do in winter. It really is an exhilerating experience for all levels of ability. Go there in summer, too, for a different view of life in the mountains.
BIRDS, FLOWERS AND WILDLIFE. We have wide abundance of wild life in and around Granada, in La Zubia, The Sacromonte, Lake Malaha, and near the Laguna at Padul. Regular feathered visitors include the bee eater and hoopo birds. We often see the Marsh Harrier gliding above. One of the favourite things to do for bird-lovers is to simply sit, and watch, and enjoy. The province of Granada in Andalucia also boasts a wide range of rare orchids and wild flowers certainly worth looking out for. Why not go for a stroll and just see what you can find here. GO QUAD RIDING There are two excellent quad hire centres just half an hour from Granada. Enjoy the thrills and the views and the freedom of quad riding in exciting safety.

Here you will find many guitar makers who will happily show you how well their guitars are made and will be pleased to serenade and entertain you so that you can hear at first hand how their guitars resound. The rich notes are bound to make you want to dance or to cry, depending upon the song played. Certainly worth a place on anyone's things to do list.
