Granada Spain Restricted Driving Streets

Why do you think you need a car in a city where the sites you are likely wanting to see are accessible by walking or a short bus trip? Whether there is a map or not (and I have not come across such a thing in all my years) I think you are looking at this the wrong way round - and in some instances raised bollards at street ends are permanent until your accommodation or a resident activates their withdrawal. Find accommodation that suits you and see what is said on the matter and parking, it may well not be an issue, as there are many accommodations on broad and unrestricted thoroughfares.

Sometimes one is taking a driving tour of Spain and it is not a good ifdea to abandon you rental at a city's out skirts! When we took our driving tour of Spain and arrived in Granada we ran into the same problem. The best way to know for certain is to contact the hotel you are considering and ask about car parking - onsite or nearby.

While staying in the Albayzin, we saw multiple cars scrape their vehicles, eventually getting stuck, and then had to roll in reverse to get out of that street. Once again re-affirming my fear of driving in Europe. I have also read that you need to contact your hotel to let them know you have a car, to register your vehicle, so you are not ticketed for driving in the center.
If you must have a car, I would research where the car parks are outside of the restricted zone and park it for the time you are there. Then take a cab to your accommodation. You won't need it for in city travel, you can walk to everything, or simply take a bus.

I have a different suggestion. Because of the car issues mentioned above, we chose to stay at the Hotel Macia Real de la Alhambra. It was new (in 2002?), reasonably priced, and had parking. The rooms are spacious and very clean. Since it's not in the historic section, we didn't have to worry about narrow, one-way streets to reach it. It's actually very close to the Alhambra. A bus, which takes you to the historic section, stops a few feet from the front door. The ride was about ten minutes and cost, back then, one euro. I heartily recommend it. The Macia chain has two hotels in Granada. Be careful, if booking, to get this and not the other with a similar name.

Thanks, all, for your comments and advice. We'd prefer to have the car convenient for day trips from Granada and also stay close in. Airbnb shows apartments including parking, but addresses aren't usually given until booking. I just assumed there'd be a map of limited driving streets.
We agree with Christiprefer not to leave the car in an outskirts garage. Thanks, Kelly for your caution regarding the Albaizin; we've seen those streets on Google Map's street viewsno thanks! Rosalyn, we will check your hotel suggestion; it may be a possibility.
