Granada

Granada SPAIN

Surrounded by the sun-swept hills and the Sierra Nevada Mountains of Andalucía, the ancient city of Granada is a stunning testament to the rich and diverse history of not just the region, but the Iberian Peninsula in general. From the Spanish Renaissance splendour of the Palace of Charles V, to the old Nasrid fortifications of the jaw-dropping Alhambra, the history of the city appears around every corner and is complemented by the modern, vibrant feel of

the bars and restaurants around Puerta Real in the centre of the city. Spend hours exploring the labyrinthine streets of the centre, marvel at the spectacular decor inside the city’s cathedral, relax in the Garcia Lorca Park –named after the famous poet who came from Granada, and then make your way to the Andalusian jewel of Alhambra. A fortified complex with lots of interesting structures amidst lush gardens, this is a true wonder of the world. Discover

the beautiful gardens of Generalife, wander through the magnificence of the palaces and then finish your tour at the top of the Torre de la Vela, where you can gaze across the romantic city below.
