3 Days in Granada with Kids

A family-paced Granada itinerary that makes the Alhambra manageable, keeps hill walks realistic, and adds hands-on science, plazas, churros, and viewpoints children can enjoy. The plan avoids cramming every monument into one day: you get timed Nasrid Palace entry, shaded Albaicín wandering, easy tapas dinners, and a Sierra Nevada foothills option that feels like an adventure without a long transfer.
