Granada

The capital of the province of Granada in Andalusia, Granada is a beautiful city that has played an important role in Spain's history. It has been occupied for over 2,500 years, from Ibero-Celts, through Greeks and Romans to the Moors. Granada was the last Moorish town to fall to the Reconquistadors - Isabella and Ferdinand in 1492. A visit to the hill top Alhambra Palace brings this history alive through archaeological remains, surviving buildings and recreations supported by exhibitions, museums and guided tours. Visitors can also explore the streets of the Albaycin, situated on a hilltop across from the Alhambra. Here, narrow streets wind around Arabic white-washed buildings, pretty gardens and charming courtyards.
