Granada, Spain

What to wear in Granada, Spain

In summer, wear light, natural fibers for comfort as well as to ward off heatstroke. In winter, dress in warm layers, including boots. In spring and fall, wear a jacket or sweater for mildly cool temperatures. Fashion-wise, Spaniards generally dress up more than Americans, so in addition to casual clothes for sightseeing, pack nice clothes for good restaurants and nightclubs. No one wears sneakers except American tourists! If you want to blend in, wear leather shoes.
