Spain Travel

Granada

Granada is one of the most charming cities in Europe. It’s home to the Alhambra, the famous Moorish palace and fortress that sits in the center of the city, complete with grand archways and delicate ornamental mosaics.
Step backward in time as you wind through the ascending cobblestone streets of Albayzin. You’ll be rewarded with beautiful views from the Mirador San Nicolas. Old-world bars dot the hillside, serving local tapas like flavorful paella, cold gazpacho, and cured ham. Granada’s nightlife is always buzzing, thanks in part to its student population. Hit the bars of Calle Elvira or, for a quieter outing, the traditional tea rooms of La Calle de Las Teterias.
