Cuevas El Abanico

I hate giving bad reviews, but this place earned it. The good news: the cave-rooms really are charming, nicely equipped, and the views of The Alhambra are great. The bad news: This place is hard to find, you can’t drive your rental car in that neighborhood, even taxis can’t take you there. And there is a seriously long, hard uphill hike from the road. Every time you go someplace, you start and end the journey drenched in sweat. The rooms are not air conditioned, so you are obligated to leave the windows open. But you are only 15 feet from the road, so loud motorcycles, noisy drunks, barking dogs, and bawling cats are your neighbors from sundown to sun-up. There is a loud and noisy bar across the valley, and their loud music, singing and dancing goes on well into the night. The experience is NOT worth the cost. If you feel you simply must stay here, strongly suggest you book a real hotel closer to the city center, leave your car and your bags there, and then spend just one night here. Treat it like a one-night-only noisy and unrestful camping trip. I urge you to not spend too much of your precious Granada vacation time and money here.
