Granada
Granada, located in the south of Spain, is famous for its stunning Alhambra, a Moorish palace and fortress that is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Fountains, viewpoints, and Cármenes—homes surrounded by gardens typical of this city—help create unforgettable corners. It’s no surprise that one of its old neighborhoods, the Albaicín, is also a World Heritage Site along with the Alhambra and the Generalife. An important cultural center for centuries, both under Muslim and Christian rule, today it enjoys an enviable cultural and leisure agenda. The city stands out for its rich Islamic heritage, reflected in the Albaicín, a maze of cobbled streets and scenic viewpoints. It is also known for its Cathedral and Royal Chapel, where the Catholic Monarchs are buried. Its vibrant cultural life, gastronomy—especially the tapas—and its proximity to Sierra Nevada make it a truly unique destination.
