Attractions in Granada

Granada is one of the most visited cities in Spain thanks to its amazing Moorish legacy. The beauty of the Moorish architecture in Granada is absolutely breathtaking, so you should consider the city as destination for one of your future holidays. Besides the fact that the Moorish architecture in the city is unique, you also have the chance to admire the famous Alhambra, the Moorish palace and fortress that became popular worldwide.

Visiting the Alhambra

Once you finish the sightseeing tour of Granada, make sure you have at least one day at your disposal in order to visit the Alhambra. The Alhambra guards and dominates at the same time the entire city from the top of its hill, surrounded by spectacular views that seem to be taken from a fairytale. Climbing up the hill needs a lot of energy and it can be tiring, but it is definitely worth the effort. The wooded path that crosses through the lush park is just the beginning of the wonders that you are about to see and a hint of what is waiting for you up on the plateau. Once inside the Alhambra, make sure you visit all its palaces and gardens, as each and every single one of them is unique!

The Nasrid Palace is the first stop on your list, as you only have half an hour allocated on your ticket for it. Describing the palace in words is almost impossible; you have to see it to believe it. The beauty and the symmetry are emphasized and all the rooms have specific patterns, while the courtyards are spectacular green oasis where tourists can relax and enjoy the sound of the pools. Charles V ordered the construction for a palace inside the Alhambra; the construction for this palace started decades after the Christian conquest, so you’ll notice a difference in styles. It is a special design using the circle within a square concept and even if you are not an architecture connoisseur, you can still notice the fact that Charles V had a very special taste for the beautiful. The Alhambra has other monuments that attract the attention of tourists besides the palaces: towers, ramparts, the Alcazaba and the fantastic Generalife, with its summer palace and gardens. You’ll admire the colored flower beds and the perfume that comes from the blossomed orange trees. I assure you that the experience is unique! Enjoy!
