Abades Nevada Palace

first off, I just want to say Granada is the most cleanest place I’ve been to! such an awesome place
Checked into this hotel around January 2012 and was very impressed. As you arrive at the hotel, the first thing i notice is how amazing the architecture of the building is. It looks very modern and reminded me of the luxor in Las Vegas… just the circular version! after parking, we go in and check in at the front desk. The ladies were very nice and helpful. They didn’t know that much english so they took their phones out and had a traslator app, which i thought was very nice of them. Language barriers suck! foursquare also has a coupon for a free 30 minute massage in their aqua massage thing if you check in so don’t forget to go on their wi-​fi so you can check in. So after getting everything settled, we go into our rooms and BAM! beautiful rooms. now don’t forget Europe rooms are not the same size as American rooms so our expectations weren’t that high. The rooms were pretty decent. Not too small, not too big, just good enough to get by. I was sharing a room with a friend and we never had issues about being crowded at anytime during our stay there. After unpacking, we head back down to the lobby and go to the bar, which is to the back left side of the hotel upon entering. Prices are a bit high, which i think is normal for a hotel so its ok, order a beer and chill in one of the hotels many chairs in the lobby and soak in the moment that we are in Granada and then head out to the city to get our party on! So we go into our cars and head «downtown» to party! the walk to the «downtown» area is kind of a ways. I’d say its about an hour walk if you are doing a normal pace and stopping now and then to trip out on how clean the city is and to stare at random fascinating buildings and to look at all the gargoyle statues everywhere (friendly looking gargoyle’s though). If you have no service in Europe for your phone, make sure to use your wi-​fi before you head out so you have a small picture of the area in case you get lost, which is my case because i lost my group around 4am and had to walk back on my own (well worth it!!). So i get back and lay on my comfy bed for about an hour and get up around 6am for breakfast. Since we were all hungover, i can’t recall if their breakfast was good or bad but i do know it filled me up enough to have enough energy to get me thru the day, which was skiing on the Sierra Nevada Mountains from 8am to 5pm. Espana I miss you
