« Granada on your own » excursion, question.

[jeuneà60]

A very specific question here. Doing the Spain - Grand Canaria cruise November14, 2023. We are on the excursion « Granada on your own ». We are wondering if anyone has done this excursion and knows where the drop of and pick up in Granada are.

Doing the same in March 2023 so also interested. As a note if you plan to visit the Alhambra buy your tickets in advance on-line as the tickets to the palace have entry times and sell out. Also advance tickets will allow you to avoid the very long line to enter the grounds.

Did some research and may have found the answer. It appears we are dropped off about a 20 minute walk from the Albaicin Quarter. If you have prepurchased your ticket on-line enter from the Puerta de la Justicia.

We took this tour last April and were dropped off and picked up at Neptuno which had several bus stops (see circled area on the left of the map). After we were dropped off (people not going to the Alcazar-we had been there on our previous trip so wanted to go to the Royal Chapel and Cathedral), they dropped the people with Alcazar tickets off closer to the entrance but not sure where. I do know that some people with early admission missed their times because the “toilet stop” on the way was very long (driver was eating breakfast). I had taken a tour to the Alcazar with Spain Day Tours previously which worked well.

Also, take photographic ID and the credit card used to purchase your tickets. Entry is very strict.

We did this a year ago. Purchased tickets in advance for entry time that would give us plenty of time to explore before joining line to enter palace. Bus left us off in parking lot adjacent to fortress. I remember that one of the bus passengers had to convince the driver to take us to Alhambra. All was good after that.
