Casa Morisca is located across the mote of the Alhambra fortress and almost directly beneath the Nasrin Palaces. The house was built in 1400’s CE or maybe even earlier. Wonderful atmosphere for time travelers! There’s a lovely court yard behind the building in addition to the frozen in time atrium. Don’t miss taking a look at the ancient water cistern in the far right corner of the atrium!
Rooms above the ground level get a view of Nasrin Palace from the tiny balcony.
The hotel offers parking, if requested in advance, for an absolute minimal fee. But getting to that parking through the 15th Century streets is challenging. So if you fell victim to the car rental’s size upgrade (get a smallest car possible and thank me later!) recommend parking outside the neighborhood and getting a cab.
The street is noisy due to the restaurants lining the mote, which close at midnight. The jovial expletives of the food industry staff last well past that time.
However! And take my words at the face value; if you’re serious about exploring Granada and Alhambra, you will sleep through all that like a baby!
Yo will be grateful for excellent water pressure, modern plumbing, and access to everything Granada has to offer!
