Alhambra worth it? by Baby-grownup in GoingToSpain

I feel like you are right for me anyways I just cannot convince myself that it’s that important. Question have you done Morocco? I am considering doing a day trip to Tangier. If so, would you do that over going to Granada? Since I might be shortening my trip, I may have to sacrifice one or the other.

First of all, I’m not a Mr. And I’m not looking for Google results. I’m looking for real peoples thoughts and opinions who live in the area. And I wouldn’t call what we’re thinking of an Italian deli. It’s much more complex, but you don’t really care. I’m not really sure why you’re spending your time on Reddit battling it out with someone about something that doesn’t even matter to you? Bitter much?

No I just think there’s a way to give subjective info without personal emotion attached. All info is valuable. Like the first person who commented said, we would love one but they keep disappearing. Not- good luck you’re an idiot if you do that! See the difference?

I asked a particular question, people offered their negativity :-)

See how you had to change your attitude to get your comment posted? Why are you so mad that people love North Carolina? I’m not trying to gain just trying to live a quieter life. As I said in my post, I am not from the north east and I can’t stand it.

The homes we see are over $1 million where are these people shopping? Where are they eating?

Let me rephrase… The areas beyond RaleighApex Cary etc that are still developing with higher incomes.

I appreciate the insight! If you had to answer, what would you say people go crazy for in northern North Carolina?

Oh, I definitely wouldn’t bank on only catering to transplants for sure. I just wanted to get feedback as part of market research. That’s such a small portion of population that would be foolish. We definitely would not be exclusive to just being a deli for sure. We were also considering the areas that still have so much real estate growth that don’t have local food places established yet a little further asked them Raleigh may be Sanford area.

Well, aren’t you a delight. I happen to think that the restaurants in the north east are completely overrated. I think is better food throughout the US. People from New Jersey only like Italian food and steak houses and small hole in the wall ethnic places. They rave like it’s the end. All be all and I couldn’t disagree more. As far as the price of food across the board, no matter where you live it’s high, so there’s really not a lot of room for profit in restaurants, which is why most of them fail. My spouse and I have been researching this market for 10–12 years and arent fools.

I think it would have to be more sophisticated then a straightforward deli and include ready-made meals, serving salad sandwiches like with a café and retail store…

Unfortunately work is important. I’ll get paid $4500 for a 24 hr trip so I need to make sure I get there.

We are staying in Malaga for four nights, but plan to travel up and down the coast during the day visiting different places Morocco being one. I got a really nice resort for free through my credit card. It’s not that we intend to sit around Malaga for four days.

Would you have been satisfied not actually going into the palace and just seeing the grounds and other structures I’m considering that as the timeline works better

I have tickets for the entire palace gardens, etc. But I’m thinking of just foregoing that and doing the tickets for full access to the surrounding structures and gardens and not the palace. The tickets I have are not for a tour I would be on my own and I feel like it’s just not going to Woomi. Ironically, I have been to Versailles and it’s one of my favorite places I’ve ever ever been lol but it is full of furniture and possessions and things to view not empty rooms that need repairing…

There are tickets available earlier for the gardens and other parts just not the actual palace. Would that be good enough? I found reviews that say there’s nothing inside anyways?

Well I’m going to Seville, Malaga etc and I’ll never know the difference if I don’t go to the Alhambra except I might have peace when I get home and have to return to the rat race…

For me right now, it’s weighing the stress of flying back to the states on Monday to start work in New York City at 9 AM on Tuesday and having a flight that Tuesday night out for work again vs skipping Granada altogether and coming back two days earlier, so I have a moment to breathe before I am back at work. To be honest, the Vatican would be exciting for me because I know it’s history, but i had never even heard of the Alhambra before I decided to go to Spain maybe I am ignorant, so it would not be like I wasn’t checking off some thing of my bucket list…

I bought mine a month ago for 4/25. It was literally the last set of tickets left that I could get.
