La Bobadilla review: Spanish sighs in Granada

Get away from it all with a hotel that brings Moorish Spain back to life

La Bobadilla

Legend has it that when Boabdil, the last Muslim king of Spain, was forced to give up his beloved Granada, he stopped his journey into exile to take a final look back at his kingdom with a heavy sigh. After a stay at the region’s five-star La Bobadilla hotel, Portfolio knows how he felt.

Although to call La Bobadilla just a hotel is like saying Picasso was just a painter. It is a small whitewashed village in itself, nestled in a 1,000-acre estate surrounded by mountains and olive trees, and the staff have taken luxury hospitality to new heights.
