So many choices, right? I was going to suggest doing it Saturday and just staying around for your evening hours, but looking at the schedule. Day time ends at 6pm and evening opens at 8pm, so 2 hours of lag time plus the 2 hours prior to your entry tickets. However, area entered from the Gate of Justice (not the main ticketing gate) leads to the areas open for free so you could stay on and have a leisurely (though a tad expensive) dinner at the Parador (hotel), there are a couple of places across the street from the Alhambra. There is also a museum that is open late and free, right by the entry line for the Nasrid Palace. Sunset is after 9pm, so you can watch it from the balastrades by the Nasrid palace with a glass of something bought at the little food kiosk.
Otherwise, either day could do....with only 2 days there, you may want to maximize your time. I went on the Saturday night, and then Sunday for the bulk of the property. I think that was because I wanted to see some of the other buildings on the Double d-Oro ticket that weren't open Sunday.
Check the date and times of the other tourist attractions you want to see and decide from there?
I was just a block or two from Callejon del Gato, but in an apartment, so didn't eat out much. You are near the top of the street (really a pedestrian alley) with a number of teterias, so if you like tea, try one of those. I found it a great area - not too hilly - and central for bus to airport or bus station, groceries, the Albicin, 'down town'. There are nice (but touristy) eateries along the Rio Darro which offer tourist menu del dias and a great place to enjoy the sun and people watch.
I think the bus numbers have changed, but I would suggest taking the bus up to the alhambra. It is a hefty walk uphill by road. There is a path down through the forest if you still have energy and want to walk back.
