There are some red minibuses in Granada which are specially designed to go around the narrow streets found in the old part of town.

They have circular routes and it is even not a bad idea to just get on one for the ride.

The 31 minibus goes around the Albaicín.
There is an image of the route here.

There is a page on it here

The most notable stop is Mirador de San Nicolas which is probably one of the best views in the world..
See pictures here.

The 32 minibus goes around the Albaicín like the 31 but also goes up to the Alhambra.

Most people who don't want to walk up the steep Cuesta Gomerez to the Alhambra from Plaza Nueva will catch the 32.
You can a map of Plaza Nueva here

The buses:
Start at 7.50am and go on until 23.00
The frequency is supposed to be every 7 minutes but it is more like 12 minutes.

If you are staying at a hotel or apartment on the route it many be a good idea to get a "bono" ticket.
This is a ticket valid for several journeys.

The bono cards are available on the bus itself.

1 Journey is about 1.20 euros.

It costs 2 euros for the card itself. (this is refundable if you return it)  
10 euros gets you 15 trips
One card can be used for several people.
i.e.: you can get on with 5 people and pay for all of them with one card.
