Granada

Sitting between the River Darra and the River Genil the most dominant feature of the city the Alhambra, the majestic mosque towering over the city, immediately gives you an idea of what is in store.

Tapas in small squares or tight alleyways, a stroll through the city’s old town or the Carrera del Darro or buy flowers on the Bib Ramble is just a glimpse of day to day life and what would be expected of anyone visiting this beautiful city.

This city beholds for the visitor not just a rich and artistic cultural background but it is backed up by the warmth and friendliness of its people and their lives on its streets.

The Alhambra is without doubt what most people come here for and you’d be forgiven if that was all that you saw whilst visiting this city, however you’d miss the half of it if that what was on your agenda. Granada provides lots more for the visitor who wants to stay a while and get to know a little more. Places like the Albaicin neighbourhood, right in front of the Alhambra is the best place to get photos, the ancient arab baths, the Banuelo is another hotspot and last but not least, the street market in Alcaiceria will give you a feel of all that has been and gone.

With so many Arabic tendencies, you start to get a feel of where you are but it would not be complete without the Christian uprising taking hold of its surroundings and these elements are all around, just start with the cathedral, an architectural masterpiece. And from there the list goes on and on, with museums such as the Museo de Bellas Artes with important collections from the likes of Alonso Cano and Machuca to the Museum of the Alhambra both of which can be found inside the the Palace of Carlos 5th. The Monasterio de la Cartuja and the Casa de los Tiros are also significant Christian buildings in the city.

Granada with its modern day infrastructure, excellent nightlife, its outstanding gastronomic offering, its modern attitude and its amazing history has made it one of the most visited places in Spain. So much so in fact that the Alhambra in 2006 was the most visited monument in the whole country. With so much on offer there is little left to do but enjoy.
