Tourist guide for Granada and its province
Granada
Nestled in the valleys
which look out to the
peaks of the Sierra Nevada,
what was once the
last capital of Al-Andalus
is today a city of contrasts
and a symbiosis of
cultures and artistic
styles.
The Muslims were responsible
for a large part
of its exceptional heritage,
along with an enchanting
urban design with
narrow alleyways, beautiful
gardens and numerous
wells and fountains.
But there is also another
Granada,the Christian
and Renaissance
Granada which was chosen
by the Catholic
Monarchs as their final
abode.
With the imposing figure of
the Alhambra overlooking
the Albaicín and
Sacromonte Quarters
and their enclosed gardens,
balconies and cave
dwellings,the City of the
Nasrids offers cultural
events of the highest
level, highly personal
gastronomy and arts
and crafts, modern
infrastructures and,
above all, the special
character which has on
so many occasions inspired
famous artists and
writers.
What to do:
- Visits to the Arabian Palaces of the Alhambra.
- Relax in Arab Baths.
- Enjoy the International Music and Dance Festival,, the International Jazz Festival and the Tango Festival.
