"Granada - The Moorish Capital" Granada by sandysmith

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

Granada has exquisite moorish buildings in a luxuriant green setting, over which the city, built on 3 hills at the centre of a wide plain, looks out to the snow-capped Sierra Nevada.

The Al Hambra Palace is the main "must see" and indeed tickets are valid for a whole day to enable you to make the most of this amazing Moorish palace and beautiful gardens.

    I am off to Granada in a few weeks time :-)) I probably won't have time to enjoy La Alpujarra though, which is a shame, as it looks and sounds so wonderful! Lol, so I am doing what I am good at: already dreaming of going back there again :-)

    Youwill find a reflection anywhere, Sandy, even if it means going down some steep paths. Not given much though to this area but now I just might have to.
