I echo the above on never feeling unsafe when I was there. Also, driving isn't too difficult (just be careful when making a reservation that you select "Automatic" if you don't like driving manual). There aren't many street signs in the area but there also aren't many roads. Getting to Granada is really easy. Just be careful of all the tuk-tuks, scooters, buses and even donkey pulled carts on the road!
