Walking to the Alhambra from Calle Elvira
Twenty minutes on foot from the door at number 138. No bus, no taxi.
It is 1,148 metres in a straight line from Calle Elvira 138 to the grounds, heading south-east. The twenty minutes are timed, not estimated.
The walk climbs. As far as the Puerta de Elvira, which is flat, the pace is 82 metres per minute; up to the Alhambra it drops to 57. That difference is the hill, which is why you should count the full twenty minutes and not the fifteen the distance suggests.
