I am going to be in Granada for one day (sunday the 15th of May) with my 20 year old daughter. Does anyone have a good itinerary for one day?

Go to the Alhambra as soon as it opens. Save the first couple rooms for your trip back. You'll have the rest of the Alhambra pretty much to yourselves for about 30 minutes if you stay ahead of the rest of the visitors. If this is all you do, it will be worth it.

However, you'll have time to walk back down to town. Visit the cathedral and the royal chapel. Then walk thru the Albaicin and enjoy the views and the sunset from Mirador de San Nicholas. Just make sure you know how to get out after sunset because it's easy enough to get lost in the Albaicin during the daytime.

Hi

Definitely visit the Alhambra. If it's not too late I suggest pre buying your ticket - http://tinyurl.com/67gfcht. And yes another vote for the beautiful Albaicin area.

Thank you both - I'll take the advice.

Ditto on Shanti's advice. Do try to get to the Cathedral if you can as well, it's gorgeous. Be mindful of your purse/wallet, mine was stolen in Granada but despite that I still loved the visit.
