That could be a very bad idea - depending on where you are coming from it
might be better to hold the sleep until a limited early afternoon siesta
otherwise your bodyclocks might never get in synch with the real world.

Just remember that life in Spain starts after midnight. Even with the
family, it's worth altering the sleep patterns to see what Spanish
life is like at 3 am.

Sounds great - I like chill:-)

On the Granada day - leave early in the morning to allow
enough time. The Alhambra and Generaliffe were one of the
most memorable periods on my trip. It is enormous,
awe-inspiring and fascinating.

Unless you are expert on the history, rent one of the
"talking tour" audio speakers which allow you to wander at
your own pace - well worth the money. Is it possible to stay
the night, so that you can follow with dinner locally and
wander through the bazaars in the Albaicin?

You're going at peak time. Make sure you reserve tickets in
advance or you may not get in. I rang for mine from
Australia, there are a few web-sites with info, for example:

I'd even say--spend a night in Granada. This will make for a much less
crazed day. Plus you can take a few hours to poke around the Albaicin and
even, maybe, visit the Nasrim Palace at night (a wonderful experience).

But even if you don't do these things, consider spending the night.

Have a great trip!
