Granada is a small town in South-East Spain, with a fascinating tourist attraction known as the Alhambra. Essentially, this is a Moorish (Muslim) Royal Palace similar to the Alcazar in Seville.
The Alhambra also contains elaborately detailed arches and designs, ornate gardens, high lookout towers (again it is on a hill) and beautiful ponds and water features. Normally it isn’t easy to get a ticket, however, after being let down by a tour company, we consulted the extremely helpful Granada Tourist Information Centre and a lady advised us to
get to the Alhambra early doors and we would be fine with tickets. This was true and we arrived early to gain access with no fuss.We decided to complete the Alhambra audioguide tour and it was really good. The palace is very old, with, as mentioned, ornate designs and great water features, plus a major feature being the views of the town and nearby Sierra Nevada mountains.
Granada itself was a cool town, and we enjoyed (again) the sangria and tapas.
Overall, definitely worth a short stay in Grenada.
Most enjoyable.
