Granada is one
of the pearls of Spain, most visited by tourists from all the world. The
long-time capital of Moorish Andalucia has to offer the most important
reminds of this epoch in Spanish history, with the world-famous "Alhambra"
(photo) at the top of the list.
Walk through beautiful gardens, charming narrow streets filled with
flowers, sit down in one of those typical taverns to have some of that
famous "Trevélez" ham and local wine, and breath the centuries of history
around you anywhere. There are gypsies singing "Flamenco", and don't miss
to visit their famous "Cuevas" - caves - in the mountain of the monastery
of Sacromonte where some of them really live still nowadays making
magnificent artisany. Granada's popular festivals, based as well on
Moorish as Christian tradition, are most attractive.
The city is located at the foot of the "Sierre Nevada", Spain's highest
mountain-massif with great posssibilities for winter-sports. The highest
peak, "Mulhacén" arrives to 3478 meters. On the other hand it is not far
from the Mediterranean sea, so Granada is a great place to visit in any
season.
