The port of Malaga is the gateway to Granada, which contains probably the greatest tribute to the Moorish Empire in Spain, the Alhambra. This fortress palace, home of the Moorish kings, defies accurate description for its sumptuous elegance and beauty. An old renovated Moorish house at the foot of the Alhambra has been converted into old-fashioned Arab baths. It is surrounded by the exquisite gardens of the Generalife, whose ponds and fountains help to cool the hot summer air. The Alhambra is possibly the single most splendid building in a country bearing relics of numerous epochs and civilisations. Granada’s magnificent cathedral houses the tombs of King Ferdinand and Queen Isabella.
