Granada is the capital city of the province of the same name, located in south eastern Spain between the shores of the Mediterranean and the Andalusian hinterland. The city is located at the foot of the Sierra Nevada, the highest mountain range of the Iberian peninsula. With more than a thousand years of recorded history, Granada is an important Spanish cultural and architectural heritage. The Alhambra, listed as an UNESCO World Heritage Site, is indisputably the most well-known monument of the city as well as one of the most visited in Spain. It has a defensive area, the Alcazaba, the Nasrid Palaces (named after the Dynasty of the Kingdom of Granada) and the Gardens of the Generalife. Granada boasts a Renaissance cathedral, dating from the 16th century, and many other architectural monuments including the Royal Chapel, the Monastery of la Cartuja, the Monastery of San Jerónimo and the Science Park Museum. However, if there’s one thing that makes visitors fall in love with the city, it’s the narrow streets and cul-de-sacs. It’s a pity to return home without having explored Granada.
