Granada is a city in the autonomous region of Andalucía, situated at
the foot of the Sierra Nevada. It is one of the great cities of Spain if
not the World.
When visiting Granada it is tempting to spend all one’s time admiring
the Alhambra. From afar one can admire the beauty of its red walled
parapets contrasting with the snow capped Sierra Nevada whilst once
inside one can absorb oneself in the sheer splendour of its fantastic
palaces and its tranquil gardens. However, Granada has much more to
offer the visitor.
It is a city where both Moorish and Christian history is visible in art and architecture.
Moorish Granada is exemplified by the UNESCO World Heritage Sites of
the Alhambra, the Generalife and the Albaicín district whilst the
Capilla Real and the Cathedral represent Christian Granada.
