Plaza Nueva
A transport hub in the old city of Granada, surrounded by the Renaissance Chancillería and the Church of Santa Ana. It is the starting point for exploring the Albaicín and the Darro River.
Plaza Nueva is one of the oldest squares in the city, built over the Darro River. The Royal Chancery, a 16th-century building, stands on its north side, and the Church of Santa Ana, with its Moorish-style bell tower, is at the east end. The square is the stop for the C31 and C32 minibuses to the Albaicín and the C30 to the Alhambra, and the surrounding area is full of tapas bars. From the square you can walk up the Cuesta de Gomérez to the Alhambra, or stroll along Carrera del Darro. It gets crowded, so watch for pickpockets.
