Things To Do

The Alhambra, one of the most important monuments of Spain, is just a 10 minute walk or a 3 minute bus ride away from us. Our staff will help you with obtaining the tickets for it, although it is best to reserve in advance over www.alhambratickets.com

You find our hostel in the middle of Granada’s most exciting quarter, the Albaizyn with its narrow streets, white-washed houses and its ancient spirit where you can wander around for hours finding small relicts from the past like Moorish bathhouses, mosques or converted churches and some stunning views from San Nicolas or San Cristobal overlooking the Alhambra and the city. Or check out the Sacromonte one of the cradles of Flamenco and visit the Centro de Interpretación to learn more about Granada’s past.

For the more Catholic part of the city, you should check out the Cathedral of Granada which you can actually see from our roof terrace or the Carthusian Monastery. Otherwise life concentrates around the main square, Plaza Nueva, where people have coffee in the morning and tapas during the night. The square is a two minute walk away from the hostel and connects to Calle Elvira where more great tapas bars, flamenco bars and night clubs are located.

How To get There

From the bus or train station take bus number 3 or 33 to Gran Via 1 stop, which is also known as the Cathedral stop. As you are approaching this stop, the cathedral will be on your right.

Exit the bus and walk back towards the intersection you just passed. You will be on a street called the Gran Via and at the end of the crossing will be a Caixa Bank. Cross Gran Via here and head into the street called Carcél Baja. Keep walking, you will pass Granada 10, the biggest disco of Granada. Then, you will come to a corner, but continue to walk up this street called Caldereria Nueva. You will be walking past many Arabic shops and restaurants.

Make your first left into Placeta Correo Viejo and after 30 mts on the right side there will be a big wooden door. Ring Nr.3 and you have found your OASIS.

If you need further directions please call us on Freephone 9001 OASIS and watch out for OASIS signs up on the buildings in the Arabic teastreet.
