Granada Sightseeing
Sightseeing Overview
No one should miss the Albaicín, the old Moorish quarter of narrow, winding streets and aged mosques-turned-churches, on a separate hill with fabulous views of the Alhambra; or the gorgeous gothic Capilla Real, resting place of the famous catholic monarchs, Fernando and Isabel, down in the city centre.
Next to the Capilla Real stands a fine cathedral dating back to 1521, and further west are two monasteries, the Monasterio de San Jerónimo and the Monasterio de la Cartuja, featuring spectacular gothic, Renaissance and baroque sculpture.
Literature fans will love Huerta de San Vicente, the home of Granada's great playwright and poet Federico García Lorca, southwest of the centre.
