Spain Travel - City Guide Granada

The essence of past legends and poems comes alive again by night. Admiration and amazement on each corner remind us of the Moorish past of Granada. There are lots of places to visit and stroll through, and an endless day makes it easier to dive into the cool night of “tunas” (musical groups made up of university students), bars and the hustle and bustle of the city. If you really want to get to know Granada, you must walk through the whole city, in pursuit of the shadow of the poet García Lorca, listening to the universal music of Falla and discovering its history on every corner.
Alhambra and Generalife
Visit the Alhambra, the most important medieval monument in Europe, which has been declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site. You will have the opportunity to see the most important halls and courtyards of the Alhambra, and you can wander through the Generalife Gardens.

Located at the foot of the highest mountain range in Spain, Granada has one of the most outstanding Renaissance works in its cathedral. This monument, with its five naves, stands out on account of its Royal Chapel, which houses the graves of the Catholic Monarchs, Joanna the Mad, and Philip the Handsome. In the museum of the sacristy you can enjoy looking at paintings by Van der Weyden, Botticelli and Berruguete, as well as objects such as King Ferdinand’s sword and Queen Isabella’s crown and sceptre.

Another symbol of Granada is the historical quarters of Albaicín, on the hill facing the Alhambra. These quarters hosted the court of the Zirid dynasty in the 11th century. The remains of the walls of the Alcazaba (citadel), the Gate of Elvira and the Arco de las Pesas give evidence of this period. Other places of special interest include churches erected over mosques, with Moorish vestiges, such as the Church of San Salvador and the Church of San Juan de los Reyes, which preserves two unique minarets of the Nasrid period.
The Sacromonte Caves represent a picturesque feature of this Andalusian city. Any tourist route must include a stop in this place, which has given shelter to lots of gypsies for centuries. The flamenco shows with singing and dance offer a marvellous display of its unimaginable intense and colourful atmosphere in its purest state. On this very mountain, visitors will find the Sacromonte Abbey, built on the site where in 1594 Moorish treasure hunters found the well-known lead plates with engravings by saints persecuted in Neron’s times.
As regards Granadas’s gastronomy, the weather and geographical variety of the province have given it wide diversity and richness. From the mountains comes the well-known ham from Trévelez, which is cured in the snow, whereas in Las Alpujarras Chicken in Tomato Sauce and Migas Alpujarreñas (a dish made of fried bread crumbs) are the most famous dishes. Espetones (barbecued sardines) stand out on the coast, and in Granada visitors can taste the Tortilla Sacromonte and fried beans with cured ham.

The easiest way to reach this province in Andalusia is by plane, since the airport is only 10 kilometres away from Granada. The great weather conditions for winter sports and its closeness to the Mediterranean coast make this city a perfect destination to visit at any time of the year.
