Staying in Realejo
Realejo changes character as you move uphill, so check whether your address lies near Campo del Príncipe or on the streets rising toward the Alhambra. The lower routes toward Calle Pavaneras are easier for everyday errands. Around the square, outdoor tables bring evening conversation close to neighboring rooms. Ask about the final approach to your building, especially if you need step-free access.

Staying in Realejo
Is every part of Realejo easy to reach on foot?
No. Streets above Campo del Príncipe rise toward the hill. Check the building's precise position and ask whether its approach includes steps.
Where is a useful meeting point?
Campo del Príncipe works well, but agree on a particular side of the square. It is large enough for people to miss each other among the terraces.
Can I walk to the Alhambra from here?
Yes, but it is an uphill walk and the destination gate matters. Check the route to the entrance printed on your ticket before leaving.
