E-Bike Tour in Granada is the way to go! - Ruben was an amazing guide. We leaned so much about these two neighborhoods, and being on the electric bike meant we could cover a lot more ground in a short amount of time. This area is very hilly, so walking it is more work than going with the e-bike. Highly recommend!
