| Granada
is one of the pearls of Spain, highly visited by tourists
from the entire world.
The Alhambra is not only the most important, but also
the best conserved Arabian palace of its epoch. It boasts
beautiful blooming gardens and palaces. La Alcazaba
is an impressive military fortification which dates
back to 9 th century; you can command a spectacular
panoramic view of the town from this fascinating tower.
While your tour to Granada walk through gorgeous gardens,
charming narrow streets filled with flowers, sit down
and relax in one of those costumed taverns to relish
that tempting "Trevélez" ham and local
wine. Granada is a beautiful charming city with grand
architectural master pieces of historical period. There
are gypsies singing and dancing "Flamenco",
and don't miss to visit their famous "Cuevas"
- caves - in the mountain of the monastery of Sacromonte.
Granada's admired festivals, based as well on Moorish
as Christian tradition, are most attractive.
The city is perched at the foot of the "Sierre
Nevada", Spain's highest mountain with great opportunities
for winter-sports. The highest peak, "Mulhacén"
rises to 3478 meters. On the other hand it is pretty
close from the Mediterranean Sea, so Granada is a great
place to visit in any season.
The Albaicin is another must visit spot in Granada,
it is mainly characterized by cobble stoned streets
with beautiful white washed houses. Granada is also
famous for sunbathing and beaches. It is the ideal place
to view Flamenco, the bull festival of Spain.
Other main Christian monuments found in the city are
the Cathedral, including the Royal Chapel where Isabel
and Ferdinand lie buried, the Monastery of La Cartuja
and many churches built by Moorish craftsmen after the
Reconquest, in Granada's unique "mudéjar"
style.
