"Site of La Alhambra - Spain's top attraction" Granada by Durfun

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

Beautiful setting, it has it all..

The snow-capped Sierra Nevada on one side, the coast on the other, and the temperate enclave of Granada town somewhere inbetween.

This place was the last stronghold of the Moorish Sultans, the last of whom was finally defeated by Ferdinand & Isabella.

A lovely city, rich in history & cultural diversity.

Pros and Cons
  • Pros:Perfect setting, snow-mountains for skiing or beach
  • Cons:Can get quite hot in summer
  • In a nutshell:Experience the best of what Spain has to offer!

    You have some really nice photos of the Alhambra, got to see some things I hadn't noticed at the time. Surely it is one of the most impressive places I've seen! Well done!

    I too loved Granada, and not just the Alhambra despite its magnificence. Thanks for some really great photos!

    I enjoyed your Alhambra pics, I loved my visit here we found the only way to get tickets was to book a guided tour but then we got some detailed explainations which was good - thanks for sharing
