The Alhambra

The Alhambra would have to be Granada's most spectacular sight.
Spent hours here wandering the different areas prior to our 7pm booking to visit the Nasrid Palaces.
Built in 14th century, the interconnected rooms are spectacular...stucco walls, geometric tiles, arched doorways, columns, pools, fountains. The marble fountain with 12 lions being the most impressive.
The Alcazaba had beautiful views across Granada. It is the sites original citadel...with historical references dating back as early as the 9th century.
The Palacio de Carlos is a grand, circular courtyard with 32 columns built in 1527. They obviously still hold events here as a stage, and chairs were set up for a performance.
The gardens were beautiful to walk around too.Read more
