INDICATIONS TO ARRIVE
Casa del Capitel Nazarí is located in the Albaycín quarter. UNESCO declared this area a World Heritage Site, so the traffic is restricted, and it’s very difficult to drive in this area. If you come by car the best thing is leave it in a car park; however you should know that it is very difficult to find a place to park the car permanently around the hotel.
We have an agreement with two public car parks that have a special rate for our guests (19, 50 Euros/24 hours). You pay the parking at the hotel and we give you some tickets each time you need the car. We cannot book you a space because it is a public car park.
These car parks are “Parking Plaza Puerta Real” (Acera del casino Street) and “Parking Triunfo” (Avenida de la Constitución Street, in front of the Jardines del Triunfo). We recommend the first one because it is the nearest parking to the hotel.
DIRECTIONS TO THE CAR PARK (PLAZA PUERTA REAL)
To go to the Plaza Puerta Real Parking:
- Take the main road in Granada "Circunvalacion" (Road A-44)
- Take exit number 131 (Armilla exit), direction to Congress Palace (Palacio de Congresos) on Armilla’s Road.
- Go straight on Paseo del Violon Street
- You´ll reach the Congress Palace, next to a big roundabout that you have to pass first.
- Stay on the left side of your way and after 500 m, on your left, you ´ll cross the bridge “the Puente Blanco “(White Bridge) and you will be in Acera del Darro Street. You will see on your right side a big shopping centre called EL CORTE INGLES. Immediately after the traffic light, on the right side, you will find the entrance of the underground parking, right beneath the fountain. Just beyond you will see the right the parking PLAZA PUERTA REAL.
For further directions you can follow signs to the Carmen Hotel. This Hotel is front of our concerted parking).
-
Please, pay attention because to the left there is another car park called Parking Puerta Real. This is the wrong parking. Our parking is Plaza Puerta Real. Please, take a taxi from the car park to the hotel, If you ask the cab driver for the bill we will discount this amount from your parking bill. We can only discount one way taxi, from the right car park to the hotel. (For having the discount it is very important you park in one of our car parks and you bring us the taxi bill) If this parking is full you can tell the parking staff you are our guest or going to the parking Triunfo

DIRECTIONS TO THE HOTEL BY CAR
UNESCO declared this area World Heritage Site, so the traffic is restricted. However guests may drive to the hotel, but only through some streets allowed by the Police. Each hotel has a way allowed for their guests and our area allowed is “Hoteles Carrera del Darro – Plaza Nueva – Albaicín”. Once you arrive in the area you must know that the traffic is complicated because they are all very narrow and cobbled streets. On many occasions the cars cannot access or get caught in because, again, extremely narrow. Once in the Albaicin, you must go all the way and to the neighborhood and the city center to leave the car in a parking area or enabled. It is not easy to leave from this quarter.
The hotel is in one of them but you cannot come with the car to the door because we are in a street with stairs. It is very important that you do not go through forbidden streets even if the sign says: “Only access to Hotels” (“Excepto acceso a Hoteles”), because these streets have cameras that will take your license plate and you will receive a fine. We cannot do anything if you receive a fine and you have not followed these directions:
- Send us plate’s number (we will send it to the police)
