Location
The Pension Casa del
Aljarife is a typical andalusian noble mansion of the XVII.
century. The house is located in a very peaceful part in
the pedestrian area of the Albaicín. The Albaicín
is the oldest and most charming district of Granada.
|
|
|
|
|
The Albaicín is a
hill, where you hardly can drive. The mostly narrow streets
and ways are made of cobble stones with lots of steps. From
the Plaza Nueva it may be a 4 or 5 minutes walk to the Casa
del Aljarife and you really have to walk. You can´t
drive directly to the Casa. So you should wear adequate shoes.
Leave your car on one of the recommended Parkings
and walk or take a Taxi to Plaza Nueva.
Please don´t try to get to the Casa del Aljarife or to
Plaza Nueva with your car. Only residents of the Albaicín
and taxis are allowed and able to do that. You will be met at
Plaza Nueva or the Parking San Agustin. The owner will help
with the luggage.
The location of the Casa
del Aljarife is unique. Although it is in the heart of the
centre of town it is very peaceful. Casa del Aljarife is in
walking distance to the Alhambra, the Cathedral and the Royal
Chapel, the centre of town, the Plaza Nueva, and other
monuments worth a visit.
Please note that we only
have non smoking rooms and we do not allow pets. Please be so
kind and have in mind these things making your reservation.
And therefore we can offer a pleasant stay and peaceful
nights.

Fly to Malaga
For your trip within Andalusia I seriously recommend to
avoid a car. The traffic in the andalusian cities is a
catastrophe with a system of one way streets. The signs are
bad and dificult to find - if there are any. But the bus
system between the andalusian cities is excellent.
There
are lots of daily busses from e.g. Malaga to Granada (and
back). They start at 7 o´clock in the morning until 9
o´clock at night every full hour every day.
From the
airport of Malaga you may take a shuttle bus (1 Euro) from
the airport to the central bus station of Malaga or a taxi,
which may cost 10 Euros.
From the central bus station in
Malaga the bus company Alsina Graells runs the busses to
Granada. A one way ticket may cost 8,20 Euros per person.
From the central bus station in Granada the bus lines No 3
and 33 go to the Gran Vía, there is a bus stop
directly at the Cathedral (see map),
a four minutes walk from Casa del Aljarife. You can also get
a taxi to Plaza Nueva, may cost 7 Euros.
From Plaza Nueva get up the Street Calle Carcel Alta, it
is right hand side of the Restaurant Torres Bermejas. Turn
left around the Church San Gregorio and walk up the Cuesta de
San Gregorio. At the end of the Cuesta San Gregorio you
eventually get to the Placeta de la Cruz Verde.
If you
should be afraid of getting lost or if you have a lot of
luggage, please phone us from Plaza Nueva (Tel. 958-22 24 25)
and we will meet you within three minutes and help with your
luggage.
