Old Streets

Granada is a medium size city of some 200,000 people. At this time of the year the temperature is quite nice at around 21 Deg. C and falling to 15 Deg. C in the evening. Summer could be very hot, well above 32 Deg. C. So this is probably the perfect time to come here.

In Plaza Nueva, one could find plenty of halal eating places and Moroccans shops along the Calle Evira, Caldereria Nueva and Caldereria Vieja streets. These three streets form some sort of a traingle of the Arab quarter in the city.

Nearby, walking South, we found another face of Granada. There is actually a proper shopping main street. The place only comes alive after 6pm when the crowd suddenly appears from nowhere. As it is Spain, people here normally take a long lunch break. Shops are closed until 5 pm. Only then the crowd starts to come in. Some restaurants only open at 7 pm. But they are not expecting a lot of clients until well past 9 pm.
