Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

Corral del Carbon is a historical site but you probably would not want to rush in order to visit it.... There is not a terrible lot to see. This place was built in the 14th century as one of several Corn Exchange centres. Merchants would use these places for business purposes.. Over time it changed identities, and became a house, an open theatre and other things. Now it's a tourist attraction. In later times, after it was reclaimed by the Christians from the Moors, it was also used as a coal exchange, hence the name.

Interesting little place tucked away. Do read the signs to understand and learn.... Spanish on front, English on the back.
We had a guide telling us the history of the place and fun facts so that was really interesting. Otherwise you could easily walk by and miss it.

Beautiful entrance to what used to be a warehouse and shelter for merchants. Built in the 1200's, this now houses offices for the city's orchestra.

Maybe it doesn’t sign itself very well but the fascinating and user-friendly museum just inside the Tourist Info door is a must-go and do. The whole building’s quite interesting too.

The building itself is interesting but not worth a visit in its own right. But the small museum is a great introduction to the history of the city - strongly recommended.

While the building itself lacks information that informs of its wonderful historical significance it is still worth the visit. However, the small museum at the back is very informative regarding the history of Medina-Garnata.

This building has a fascinating history. It was originally a granary and a roadhouse of sorts, a place for Arab traders to stay while in town to sell their wares to the merchants in the nearby market area. When the Catholic monarchs drove the Moors out of Spain, they gave it to trusted followers who used this lovely building to store coal. Later still, it operated as a comedy theatre but ended up very rundown and boarded up. Fortunately it has been beautifully restored. A small gallery inside describes the history of the building and the area (free admission). A good place to visit in conjunction with the old market area near the cathedral.

The Corral del Carbón or Coal House is a 14th-century monument and is the only Nasrid public house preserved in its entirety in the Iberian peninsula. There is no entry fee to this place and it is an antiquated structure with an intricately carved entrance, but had been modernised from inside and hosts a museum and offices. The courtyard is cobbled and has a plain water fountain in the centre. The history of the place is more remarkable than its appearance.

Kids ( ages 7 and 9) were utterly fascinated by this spot. Using the information in my next book on Spain, I told the kids of the travelers who would stop here on their journey along the silk road. They would tell stories around the campfire and rest with their camels for the night.

This was circled on my map by the tourist information officer for my tour. It was harder to find than I would like, as I could see no signs at all in the adjacent main avenue, it was located in a passageway, like an alley. The façade is moorish, which would be interesting if I hadn't seen so many of those in the Alhambra. Inside there was only an unimpressive patio. Save yourself your time and skip this "attraction".

Can you still pick up Alhambra tickets (with pre-purchased online reservations) here? If so, can you pick up the tickets for consession/reduced price reservations (youth, free child) as well? Thank you.
Written 27 February 2018
Please visit tickets . alhambra-patronato . es and you will find all information how to buy tickets in advance. Have on mind that tickets purchased in advance cannot be returned/changed. And children under 12 have free access.
