Granada travel guide

Granada is fabled for its exquisite palace-fortress, the Alhambra, but there is more to this Spanish city than the world's biggest surviving medieval Islamic palace.

The last redoubt of Moorish culture in Spain offers an architectural cocktail blending ancient with young, traditional with creative and Christian with Islamic. Combine all this with Granada's mix of narrow, dark, secretive streets and expansive, open vistas and you'll discover it weaves a unique magic that makes Granada quite unlike any other city in Spain, or indeed on the planet.
