Getaway to Albolote and stay just a few miles from the Granada Alhambra for a few days of peaceful rest in a beautiful natural setting.

Albolote is a picturesque town in the province of Granada, just over four miles from the capital. Surrounded by landscapes of great beauty, the town has managed to perfectly combine urbanism and nature. Take a cheap getaway to Albolote to see for yourself!

For many, the Cubillas Reservoir is one of Albolote's main attractions. This is an area of great natural beauty for a day trip to enjoy nature in all its splendour. From June to September, temperatures do not fall below 21ºC (they exceed 25ºC in July and August), so you may want to have a swim to cool off. Take a stroll through the area, where vestiges of the Upper Palaeolithic were found.

At the heart of Albolote is the Plaza de España, with its imposing town hall and the Encarnación parish church. Its Granada Mudéjar architecture, so typical of the late sixteenth century, is striking. Go inside, where you will find the Cristo de la Salud, the patron of the town.

As Albolote holiday packages are for everyone, you can always take an excursion on foot or by bike to the Torreón de Albolote in the Sierra Elvira. This defensive tower is from the Nasrid period, specifically from the 13th century. Located in a strategic location, the tower is taller and wider than others of its type because it was needed to oversee a vast area. As joy lies in the journey, not the destination, take your time and connect with nature.

The nearest airport to Albolote is Granada-Jaén. Then take a bus to the centre of Granada and, from there, another to Albolote. If you rent a vehicle, it will only take twenty minutes on the A-92 from the airport. Choose the option that best suits you to get the most out of an Albolote holiday.
