"North African city in Spain" Granada by aaaarrgh

Granada Travel Guide: 1,993 reviews and 4,909 photos

What a fascinating city, central to Catholic Spain's battle against the Arab Moors. And the 'moors' are still here in large numbers, adding exotic colours, smells, restaurants and souvenir shops to the streets.

Pros and Cons
  • Pros:The Alhambra will make your jaw drop. Free tapas.
  • Cons:Bus and train station out in the suburbs
  • In a nutshell:Vibrant blend of cultures in a busy city

    Good find on Plaza de San Nicolas. I did wander around the Arab 'Albaicin' district, but didn’t happen to find this plaza. Perhaps next time.

    Great stuff. Got to Granada, got robbed within half an hour, went back to Marbella never to see the Alhambra. Will return one day.
