Sorry man... That really sucks. Last time I went to Granada I dropped by Carmen just to say hi. There was a Japanese student in the office. She had just arrived. A cab had dropped her off at the main cab station in the Albaycin. In the short time it took her to pull out her phone and look up the directions to get to the school, someone had snatched her suitcase and ran off with it... Carmen rents out guitars, so at least you should be covered for that part of your trip (though i wouldn't expect much in terms of quality of those guitars...) If you're staying in the school accommodation, if you head down to the main street (calle Pages / cuesta del Chapiz), Casa Torcuato at the corner makes some mean tapas. Or a bit further down, facing the pharmacy, there's that bar with a large patio. I forget the name but it's the one with all those "todo es amor" messages on the wall. It's run by a Berber guy and his brother. Both are very kind and a conversation with them over the bar just might take some of the sting away for tonight. In the morning, I'd often head down the hill to the corner between cuesta del chapiz and paseo de los tristes. The establishments there are touristy, but in the early morning you'll very likely be the only person there. It's nice for some peace and quiet, a morning cup of coffee with the stream nearby and the Alhambra looming over you.

ORIGINAL: gerundino63 Portugees shopkeepers put keramic froggs in front of their shop to keep gipsy’s out..... Maybe a sticker or two.......😃 To my experience a pig hoof attached to the cases handle could rather be in order. Then again, as some mentality defines its guidelines spontaneously to demand, the attachment might hardly prevent anything. Just experienced a guy who presents himself as painter. No clue of the job, spilling and dropping paint everywhere / messing up windows and the whole areal aside; a relentless fraud. Presenting false and double bills for material, then stealing it. Also putting items in use without asking and ruining them etc. Then asked by a welder how come his tools ended up in the ‘painters’ car: “I forgot.” Taking a bunch of things in one´s car and explaining it with oblivion takes a special cheeky routine. And regarding another tool: “I thought it was his (meaning me)”. Right, stealing from a host who paid you too well, treated you friendly and catered on top, is just alright. - Anyway, sorry for your loss, Goldwinghai. I know how such feels. Countlessly, at the other Mediterranean shore.

ORIGINAL: Goldwinghai Update: they want to pay me 60€ (sixty euros). Below is their email I received today: “We are contacting you again to inform you that, once the relevant proceedings have been made, our insurance company has estimated the value of the stolen luggage. The amount set is 60 Euros. If you agree with this assessment, please send us a bank account number on your name in order to pay you the relevant amount. IBAN SWIFT/BIC Please send the above to the following postal address: C/ Alcalá, 478 - 28027 Madrid, stating as a reference your file number "xxxxx". You can also send it to the email address saccentral@alsa.es, stating in the Subject your file/reference number.” Any comments or suggestions? That is very surprising they offer even that amount, I hope it's not available only after a handful of forms and e-mails That estimate for the guitar is pathetic though, even a childrens guitar is worth 100 euros. What bothers me the most that there should be surveillance footage on every bus station(major), so a footage of the thief, this kind of ineffective attitude from the coños at alsa and police gives the thieves an advantage. This would never happen in Finland for example.
