Granada, Spain should be on every travelers bucket-list! From the stunning mountainous landscape to the even more impressive architecture at famous places like the Alhambra palace, there is so much culture, history, and beauty to soak up in Granada. If you’re looking to enjoy both peaceful and luxurious surroundings while being close enough to all the action, I highly recommend booking a stay at La Esperanza Granada… The Location: This majestic hacienda is nestled in the Lecrín Valley, a beautiful part of the Andalucía region which shouldn’t be overlooked.

With 20 expansive decks featuring over 1,500 cabins, 17 bars and lounges, 12 entertainment venues, 11 restaurants, 3 pools, 1 unbelievable spa and a museum… it is no surprise to learn that this is the 5th largest cruise ship in the entire world! Keep reading to learn all about my favorite features of Costa’s newest flagship, the magnificent Costa Smeralda… Accommodation: In my opinion, it is always worth splurging on a room with a view and even better, a room with outdoor space!
