[Day-4] Traveling from Barcelona to Granada: Renfe Tips & Alhambra Night View

✨ [Day-4] The highlight of my trip: Alhambra Palace glowing at night.


Today is Day 4 of my solo trip through Spain.
I'm leaving Barcelona and heading to Granada,
a city filled with exotic Islamic charm.

Early Morning Transpots : Free Now

I woke up at 5:00 AM for my train.

In Spain, the Free Now (Freenow) app is
often cheaper and more reliable than Uber!
I reached Barcelona Sants Station
safely within 5 minutes.

Barcelona Cants Station Tips 🧳

The first thing at Sants Station is the X-ray security check.
The line can be long, so arrive at least 40–50 minutes early.
Most shops open later, so prepare your breakfast the night before!

Riding the Renfe Train 🚂

I booked via Omio. The luggage racks fill up quickly!
As soon as your platform (Via) number is announced,
head down and secure a spot for your suitcase right away.

Highlight : Alhambra Night View

The highlight of the day was the night view
from Mirador de San Nicolás.
Watching the Alhambra Palace light up
under the dark blue sky was a magical experience. ✨

Exotic Vibes : Tetería Restaurante Kasbah

On my way down from the viewpoint,
I visited Tetería Kasbah.
Stepping inside felt like being transported to Morocco!
The warm glow of the mosaic lamps created such a cozy and mystical atmosphere.
The exotic aroma and the beautiful Arabic decor made it a night to remember.
It's a perfect place to feel the unique blend of cultures in Granada.
