Posada de Quijada is a budget guesthouse or hostal in the Albaicín, the hillside Moorish quarter, at Calle Quijada 8. About 4 minutes on foot from Plaza Nueva and 7 from Granada Cathedral.
Posada de Quijada is a small budget guesthouse, or hostal, in the Albaicín, the hillside Moorish quarter of Granada in Andalusia, southern Spain. The address is Calle Quijada 8, a quiet street in the lower part of the quarter, about four minutes on foot from Plaza Nueva and around seven minutes from Granada Cathedral. The Albaicín, with the adjacent Alhambra and Generalife, forms part of a UNESCO World Heritage site, and the district's whitewashed houses, cobbled lanes and hidden gardens make it a distinctive place to stay.
The guesthouse is very small, with only three rooms, which suggests an intimate and personal atmosphere compared with the large central hotels. Room types listed are single, double and twin, with prices in the range of about 45 to 100 euros per night depending on date and room type. Amenities listed are free Wi-Fi, air conditioning and wheelchair accessibility, an unusual combination in an Albaicín property and one worth confirming at booking given the steep streets that surround it. The small size means availability is limited, so early booking is advisable.
Being in the lower Albaicín, the posada is close to the Carrera del Darro, a riverside promenade that leads to Plaza Nueva past old bridges and the Arab baths known as El Bañuelo. Visitors can reach the Mirador de San Nicolás on foot, although the climb is steep, and the small buses serving the quarter stop nearby. The area has many teterías, small restaurants and tapas bars, and the Calle Calderería Nueva with its tea houses is a short walk away.
No restaurant, spa, pool or fitness facility is listed at the property. The service character is that of a small, family-style guesthouse for independent travellers and couples who want an Albaicín address at a moderate price. Contact is by telephone on +34 958 20 66 11, and the property website is posadadequijada.com. As in all of the Albaicín, vehicle access is restricted, so guests should ask for arrival directions.
