Take a walk across the Gran Vía de Colón, one of the main arteries of Granada. Designed in the late early 1900s, this grand boulevard is a stunning collection of eclectic and modernist architecture, a big contrast to the winding medieval streets of the Albaicín. As you stroll along the wide sidewalks, you'll pass by impressive buildings that contain banks, historic hotels, and eventually they lead to the magnificent Cathedral and Royal Chapel, making it a perfect route to soak in the city's architectural splendor.

If you travel in summer, reward your little ones with an ice cream at Los Italianos, Granada's most emblematic gelato shop, dating from 1936.
