If you go shopping, Nevada Shopping is another option with its own address and services. First choose what you want to do to organize transportation and avoid unnecessary trips.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/granadasmile.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/photo-1666009373556-e7837ee7d731-scaled.jpg\" title=\"Armilla\" alt=\"Armilla\"><\/p>\n<h2>Garc\u00eda de Viedma House and Ethnographic Museum<\/h2>\n<p>The <a href=\"https:\/\/armilla.es\/ciudadania\/ciudad-de-armilla\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">information from the City Council<\/a> places the municipal Ethnographic Museum in the Garc\u00eda de Viedma House, a stately home linked to the 18th century and rehabilitated between 2008 and 2011. The building preserves patios and two coats of arms related to the Garc\u00eda de Viedma and Gonz\u00e1lez Saavedra families.<\/p>\n<p>The museum occupies former stables and warehouses. Its collection brings together objects from agricultural work in La Vega, from different trades and from daily life, contributed or lent by neighbors. The Jar Room preserves six large containers used to store products.<\/p>\n<p>It is a visit for those who want to know the daily history of the municipality. Before going, confirm the opening of the museum and exhibitions: the municipal file also contains old programs and does not allow all its schedule information to be considered current. The City Council publishes the telephone number <strong>958 578 015<\/strong> and the email <strong>informacion@armilla.es<\/strong> as contact channels.<\/p>\n<h2>Urban center and church of San Miguel<\/h2>\n<p>The <a href=\"https:\/\/armilla.es\/el-ayuntamiento\/guia-municipal\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">municipal guide<\/a> includes the church of San Miguel among its facilities. As a proposed walk, combine the surroundings of the Town Hall with the streets of the center and prepare separately the entrance to the spaces you want to visit.<\/p>\n<p>This tour can fit before or after the museum. If you are traveling with children or a person who needs breaks, prioritize an area and leave time for breaks. There is no need to turn a short visit into a list of scattered monuments.<\/p>\n<h2>Fermasa: go to a fair with a specific purpose<\/h2>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/eventos.fermasa.org\/conocenos\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Fermasa, the Armilla Trade Fair<\/a>, organizes fairs, conferences and exhibitions at its premises on the Armilla\u2013Granada highway, s\/n, 18100 Armilla. Its history is linked to the old sugar factory of Santa Juliana.<\/p>\n<p>Check the <a href=\"https:\/\/eventos.fermasa.org\/event\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">venue schedule<\/a> and choose an activity that matches your date. Check the conditions of that fair: target audience, entrance, schedule and access. The office hours published by Fermasa are not equivalent to the schedule of all its events.<\/p>\n<h2>Nevada Shopping: address and opening conditions<\/h2>\n<p>The <a href=\"https:\/\/nevada.shopping\/contacto\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">shopping center<\/a> publishes its address at <strong>avenida de las Palmeras, 75, 18100 Armilla<\/strong>, and the telephone number <strong>958 553 422<\/strong>. If your goal is to visit a store, check its opening and the commercial calendar, especially on Sundays and holidays.<\/p>\n<p>The opening of restaurants and leisure does not guarantee that all stores will be open. Locate the business or service that interests you before organizing the trip. The Metropolitano identifies the Sierra Nevada stop next to a commercial and leisure area.<\/p>\n<h2>How to get there by metro and prepare the last leg<\/h2>\n<p>The <a href=\"https:\/\/metropolitanogranada.es\/node\/318\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Metropolitan file<\/a> places the Armilla stop on Poniente Avenue, next to the Town Hall, in the urban area. You can use it as a reference for a walk through the center. For Nevada Shopping, consult Sierra Nevada and the section to the entrance you need.<\/p>\n<p>Check schedules and notices at the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.metropolitanogranada.es\/estaciones-y-paradas\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">subway operator<\/a>. If you connect from a train or long-distance bus, also calculate the transfer time. Choose the stop based on your destination, instead of automatically using the one with the name of the municipality.<\/p>\n<h2>How to combine Armilla with Granada<\/h2>\n<p>If you want to visit the Science Park, plan another section of the route: the Metropolitan identifies Alc\u00e1zar Genil as the stop next to the museum, on Granada&#8217;s Science Avenue. It is not part of the heritage located in the center of Armilla.<\/p>\n<p>As a proposal for a day, choose a museum and urban walk, a specific fair or shopping and restaurants. Combine two options only after checking their schedules and commutes. To choose accommodation, consider access to your main destination, the services actually offered and the establishment&#8217;s booking conditions.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"100%\" height=\"396\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/iy-acuyRx74\"  frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen title=\"GranadaSmile informational video\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<section id=\"gs-sources\" class=\"gs-editorial-sources\" aria-label=\"Sources\">\n<h2>Sources<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>City Hall information<\/strong>: <a href=\"https:\/\/armilla.es\/ciudadania\/ciudad-de-armilla\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">https:\/\/armilla.es\/ciudadania\/ciudad-de-armilla\/<\/a><\/li>\n<li><strong>municipal guide<\/strong>: <a href=\"https:\/\/armilla.es\/el-ayuntamiento\/guia-municipal\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">https:\/\/armilla.es\/el-ayuntamiento\/guia-municipal\/<\/a><\/li>\n<li><strong>Fermasa, the Armilla Trade Fair<\/strong>: <a href=\"https:\/\/eventos.fermasa.org\/conocenos\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">https:\/\/eventos.fermasa.org\/conocenos<\/a><\/li>\n<li><strong>venue programming<\/strong>: <a href=\"https:\/\/eventos.fermasa.org\/event\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">https:\/\/eventos.fermasa.org\/event<\/a><\/li>\n<li><strong>shopping center<\/strong>: <a href=\"https:\/\/nevada.shopping\/contacto\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">https:\/\/nevada.shopping\/contacto\/<\/a><\/li>\n<li><strong>Metropolitan record<\/strong>: <a href=\"https:\/\/metropolitanogranada.es\/node\/318\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">https:\/\/metropolitanogranada.es\/node\/318<\/a><\/li>\n<li><strong>subway operator<\/strong>: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.metropolitanogranada.es\/estaciones-y-paradas\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">https:\/\/www.metropolitanogranada.es\/estaciones-y-paradas<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/section>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Armilla offers its own plan in the metropolitan area of Granada: visit the Casa Garc\u00eda de Viedma, get closer to the urban center or go to a fair in Fermasa.
