What this is
The sight pages tell you what a place is and whether it is worth your time. They are not the right shape for the questions that cut across them — how to time a visit around the timed Alhambra slot, how to walk the Albaicín without the crowd, how to reach a ruin eight kilometres out of town.
Those go here. New pieces are published three times a week, and each one is researched, drafted and checked the same way as the rest of the site.

Granada, in the meantime
While the journal fills up, the finished parts of the site are the twenty sight pages, the itineraries and the day trips.
