ORIGINAL: Pimientito I dont recommend anyone driving around Granada unless you absolutely have to...its a crazy labyrinth. The first time I was in Granada was a while ago. Franco was not only alive, he was still quite active. I drove from Malaga. Even back then the city was a terrible place to drive. Somehow I managed to wander into the Albaicin and found myself on one-way streets barely wide enough for the tiny Seat Panda I was driving. On my way out of town I saw a vacant space at the curb with a mailbox. I pulled up to drop off some postcards. A uniformed member of the Guardia Civil stormed out of the building with a stern expression, holding up his palm to deter a criminal parking offense. Then he saw I was a tourist, took my postcards through the car window, ceremoniously deposited them in the mailbox, and sent me on my way with a salute. When Larisa and I were in Granada in 2007 we stayed at a small hotel almost under the walls of the Alhambra. Larisa drove from Jerez to Granada. There is a bypass that takes you from the highway to the Alhambra while pretty much avoiding the city. We found the hotel with little trouble, though there were a couple of very tight squeezes getting to it. We left parking the car to the hotel's owner. We were afraid to try. I actually drove in Granada the last time I was there three or four years ago. I rented a car at the train station and drove south into the Alpujarras to visit Estevan and his wife at a tiny village, literally at the end of the road. I had no trouble getting out of town onto the motorway, but coming back into town I took a wrong turn and wandered in heavy traffic for at least half an hour, even with GPS on my iPad. RNJ
