Where to leave the luggage in Granada (and why you may not need to pay)

The first important thing: the Alhambra has free delivery

The Patronate of the Alhambra and Generalife has Free lockers for visitors. Just show the entrance.

There's two delivery points:

• Access Pavilion, next to the sales lockers. It's the main one.

• Wine Gate Service Pavilion, already inside the compound

The measurements of the access hall lockers are:

• Large: 88 cm high × 43.5 width × 42 background

• Small: 43.5 × 43.5 × 42 cm

And here's the call: the number of lockers is limited and the Patronato itself warns that the service is only provided to exhaust existing units. In high season they can all be busy. It's not a guaranteed service.

What can't you get into the Alhambra

The official rule is clear: The entrance to the monumental enclosure is not permitted with backpacks, bags, bags or other objects. It is allowed access with small bags for personal objects and with small backpacks, up to 40 × 40 cm.

To get an idea: 40 × 40 is approximately the size of a standard cabin case. Above that, to the locker.

A surprising detail: if you come in with a small backpack allowed, You must take her in the front of the body., so as not to roar the paraments or disturb the other visitors.

Baby carts: do not enter

The Baby carts are not allowed in the Nazi Palaces or in the Generalife for conservation reasons. We must leave them in the slogan.

In return, the Board lends backpacks porta- baby for freewith a capacity of up to 12 kg and subject to availability. The point of making change is the slogan of the Wine Gate.

If you travel with a baby, you have that procedure within the time of your access strip.

So when do you need a payment book?

The Alhambra slogan solves the problem of the day of the visit, but not all cases. You need a slogan in the center if:

• You're carrying a big billing bag. The monument's lockers are 88 cm high; a standard cellar case does not enter

• You've left the accommodation in the morning and your train or bus leaves at night. The slogan of the Alhambra is only for the day and time of your visit, not to leave things while you walk through the Albaicin or eat in the center

• You're not going to the Alhambra that day.You don't have a ticket.

• You go in high season And you'd rather not play it than get free lockers.

How the Centre's slogans work

In Granada there are private slogans, most of them automated and open 24 hourslocated in strategic points of the historic centre and in the surroundings of the Alhambra.

What they usually offer:

• Free access for to leave and collect things as many times as you want during the period of employment

• Luggage insurance and security cameras

• Facilities added services: wifi, USB loaders, water sale and snacks

• No practical size limit, unlike monument lockers

They are booked online and paid per package and per day or fraction, not per hour.

Where it should be

Granada has an uncomfortable geography for this: The Alhambra is up and the center is down. If you choose a slogan, think about your day tour first.

• If your visit to the Alhambra is the last thing before you go, a slogan is better. by the monument: you come down with things

• If you are going to spend the day in the center, the Albaicín or the Cathedral, a in the historic center, near the bus station or the point of departure

Up and down the Alhambra with the suitcase to recover it is the mistake that ruins the last afternoon.

And one more thing about the Alhambra

Since you are organizing the visit: access to the Nazaris Palaces has time assigned at entry And you can only get inside that strip, by control of the power. If you miss your time for fighting your luggage, there's no relocation.

Calculate the time to leave things in the slogan within your margin. And if you have the ticket bought and you get on foot or by bus, the Court of Justice It usually has less tail than the Access Pavilion.
