Granada, Spain

Granada Spain

The Islamic leaders of Granada cherished and beautified this regional capital. Overlook the humble apartments of Granada and gaze upwards: the imposing clay-red Alhambra palace stands out against the Sierra Nevada, the sunniest ski slopes in Europe. The invigorating coastline is also within close proximity. The Alhambra, which translates to 'the red one' in Arabic, is a globally renowned Islamic monument of enduring magnificence, situated on a hill blanketed with lush woods and gardens. The numerous courtyards and rooms within the palaces of the Casa Real are among the finest examples of Mudejar art and architecture. Built after the Reconquista of Granada to replace the mosque that previously stood there, the Cathedral of Granada is the first purely Renaissance cathedral in Spain. The Royal Chapel, accessible through a separate entrance, houses the intricate tomb of Ferdinand and Isabella, along with Isabella's impressive private art collection. South of the Cathedral lies the Albayzin, the old Arab quarter, a maze of winding alleyways with Moorish-style archways adorning the walls. Granada is renowned for its holy week celebrations, which include festivities and processions. For a less cultural experience, stick to the student pubs around the university.
