+==== 1-Day Granada Itinerary ====
+<code>
+Granada is compact but hilly. The Alhambra is the absolute highlight and requires advance booking.
+Morning: The Alhambra (3–4 hours)
+Book your ticket weeks (or months) in advance — especially for the Nasrid Palaces (timed entry).
+    Arrive early for your allocated Nasrid Palaces slot.
+    Visit in this order if possible:
+        Nasrid Palaces (the highlight – Court of the Lions, Hall of the Ambassadors, etc.)
+        Alcazaba (fortress with excellent city views)
+        Generalife Gardens (beautiful summer palace and gardens)
+Tip: Allow plenty of time — the complex is large.
+Midday / Early Afternoon
+    Walk down from the Alhambra toward the city center.
+    Lunch: Enjoy free tapas with drinks (Granada tradition). Good areas: around Plaza Nueva or Calle Calderería Nueva.
+Afternoon: Historic Center + Albaicín
+    Granada Cathedral + Royal Chapel (optional but worthwhile if time allows – Royal Chapel houses the tombs of the Catholic Monarchs).
+    Stroll the Alcaicería (old silk market streets).
+    Walk along Carrera del Darro and Paseo de los Tristes.
+    Explore the Albaicín (historic Moorish quarter) — narrow whitewashed streets and carmens (houses with gardens).
+Late Afternoon / Sunset
+    Mirador de San Nicolás
+    The classic viewpoint of the Alhambra with the Sierra Nevada behind it. Best at sunset.
+Evening
+    Tapas crawl in the center or Albaicín (free tapa with every drink).
+    Optional: Flamenco show in a cave in Sacromonte (very atmospheric).
+Practical Tips
+    Essential booking: Alhambra tickets (official website only).
+    Walking: Expect hills and cobblestones — wear comfortable shoes.
+    Getting around: Most of the day is walkable. Bus C3 goes up to the Alhambra if you prefer not to walk uphill.
+    Pace tip: If your Alhambra ticket is in the afternoon, reverse the order (center + Albaicín first, Alhambra later).
