Which eSIM should I buy for Granada?

Choose the AloOui Spain eSIM. It starts at $3.12 for 1GB over 7 days and runs on Movistar, Orange and Yoigo with 4G/5G where available.

Arriving in Granada

Federico García Lorca Airport (GRX) is about 20 km west of the city, with an airport bus to the centre in around 40 minutes. Many visitors fly into Málaga Airport instead and take a direct coach to Granada in about an hour and a half.

Data tip: turn on AloOui as you land and buy your bus ticket on your phone, so you can head straight to the right stop.

The Alhambra

The Alhambra is Granada's highlight and one of Spain's most visited monuments. Tickets give a fixed entry time for the Nasrid Palaces and often sell out weeks ahead, especially in spring and summer.

Data tip: book online as early as you can, and keep your ticket and passport details on your phone. Staff check the time slot at the palace entrance.

Where you'll use your data in Granada

• The Albaicín: the old Moorish quarter, with the famous sunset view from the Mirador de San Nicolás
• Sacromonte: cave houses and flamenco shows in the hills
• The Cathedral and Royal Chapel: the burial place of Ferdinand and Isabella
• Tapas bars: in many bars a free tapa comes with every drink

Sierra Nevada and the Alpujarras

The Sierra Nevada ski resort is less than an hour's drive from the city, so you can ski in the morning and walk the Alhambra in the afternoon in winter. The white villages of the Alpujarras sit on the southern slopes.

Data tip: download offline maps for the mountain roads, and check snow and road conditions on your phone before you drive up.

More of Andalusia

Málaga and the Costa del Sol are about an hour and a half away, and Seville around three hours by train or bus. Your Spain eSIM works the whole way.
