Things to do in Granada

Granada is a city with a unique face in Europe and around the world, because of its perfect synthesis of typical elements of Iberian and Arabic cultures. Granada, which was conquered by the Moors such as much of Spain, was the last city to be taken over by the Catholic monarchs in 1492, thus maintaining a strong Middle Eastern sign. The particular charm of this Andalusian town origins from this "mezcla" (mixture) and also from the geographical position of Granada, which lies between two rivers, at the foot of the Sierra Nevada and not far from the Mediterranean Sea. The most important and famous attraction of the city is undoubtedly the Alhambra, a Moorish fortress that was built in the XIV century and contains the splendid palaces where Arab emirs lived, with magnificent mosaic tiling, patios and gardens.
