It'll take you longer to get there, I guess 40 mins from Marbella to Malaga, and then 90 mins to Granada. You will actually not enter both cities, but you'll have some spots with heavy traffic, and you may miss some access or exit, so pay attention. Once in Granada, follow signs to Alhambra and its parking lot.
Left flank pain can be caused by any of a number of disorders of the left kidney. The potential causes include renal inflammation or infection, a renal cyst, a renal infarction, trauma to the kidney, a kidney stone and a urinary tract infection that has migrated to the kidney.
Left flank - odd sensation. I have a very strange sensation in my left flank. Sometimes it is higher up by and sometimes it is lower but always on the left side. It isn't a pain but an annoyance. It sort of feels like a fist on the inside trying to push out or a big bubble.
