But hey no Flamenco again!
And this is a 2 minute read, focusing on the event but highlighting a great place to stay.
The Venue: El Palacio de Exposiciones y Congresos de Granada. A conference and exhibition centre. It’s in the city centre, on paseo del Violón and sits on the left had side of the river Genil. A great venue, for a much bigger gig than the last one I was in Granada for.

Café Quijano on their Manhattan Tour 2024. Café Quijano – Cafe Quijano
A Spanish Latino rock group. Three brothers Manuel, Óscar y Raúl Quijano originating from the Spanish city of León (I’m bound to get there sometime).
A great night. These guys are entertainers.
Just when I thought it was all over, the encore and my favourite track, “Perdonarme”. Check them out on all the usual platforms.
Base Camp
Set in an Andalusian manor house from the year 1700. I arrived to find a note on the door. “Back in 5 minutes, you are welcome to wait in the cafe across the street”. Off across the street, then. I learn it’s a husband and wife duo, he’s in the cafe and explains she’s just popped out to collect the children from school, no problem. I take a drink and a seat and in less than 5 minutes the lady and 2 lovely little girls arrive to show me to my room. It’s quirky, individual decor, just what I like!
A bite to eat
I’m a creature of habit and a ‘frequent flyer’ to Granada. When I like a place, I go back! So not much to add here with the exception of breakfast at the cafe run by the owners of the Pension. Good traditional Spanish fare, big portions to set you up for the day and great value for money. The service is none too shabby either, it was busy and I expected a wait, especially for my second coffee. But no they had it covered.
Footnote for next post
The Spanish city of León gets a mention and I got there. It’s coming soon.
