We did not visit the museum, unless you count the gift shop. We did however attend the flamenco theater. The play is about a poem written by a respected Granada writer. The poem is about incest and rape, so not a very happy play. The performance is an interpretation of the poem with the use of music, song, and flamenco dance. There's not a lot of participants (two dancers and two musicians) and the venue seats about 20 people. The performers are very humble and true thespians, performing solely to entertain and enjoy their craft. Very talented performers so I would recommend this if you are in the mood for something a little bit different and unique.

One of my favorite things abut this museum (unless I am getting it confused with one of the many other museums we visited in Spain) was that they had these portable folding chairs that you could borrow and carry around some of the galleries, returning before you moved on to the next floor. How I wish that all museums had something like that!! It was so nice to be able to stop and contemplate a painting from time to time while resting on this portable seat. Other museums, please take note of this affordable amenity that will significantly enhance your guests' experience!!

The spectacular main entrance was popular both in the day and night for photos. The entrance to see the Royal Chapel where the King Ferdinand II and Queen Isabel were buried was to the right while the cathedral tour entrance went to the left. A discounted admission was only available online if you chose two or more sites to visit (out of five if I recall). The Royal Chapel itself had its own admission fee and no photos were allowed inside. A helpful app could be downloaded to listen to while one walked through the chapel at your own pace. Security was diligent in enforcing the no photos policy. Inside the cathedral, photos were allowed and it just dwarfed us we walked around. I couldn't get the app to reliably work as we wandered around so just reviewed any posted signs. The cathedral was built on top of a mosque unlike the Mezquita in Cordoba so it was grand Catholic Cathedral with Renaissance, Gothic and Baroque designs. It was befitting of a church for Kings and Queens with gold and intricate details.

Compared to cathedrals across Spain, this one is large in scale but not as ornate as others. The light and brightness of this cathedral is quite exquisite, but it otherwise is quite simple.
