Granada -- Turism
The last kingdom to be reconquered by the Catholic Monarchs has an incredible artistic and historic heritage. Moorish and Christian elements go hand in hand in the streets of Granada. The palace complexes of the Alhambra and Generalife, beside the Albaicin, have been declared World Heritage Sites by UNESCO. The Gran Vía de Colón and the Avenida de los Reyes Católicos will lead the visitor to Renaissance monuments and to the most important districts.
The Alhambra's reddish hills house the old Alcazaba and the Nazarite Royal Palaces. This artistic gem of Arab Granada, built between the 13th and the 15th centuries, is composed of many rooms linked by courtyards, gardens and fountains. Its delicate execution is evident in such places as the courtyards of Arrayanes and Leones, and in the Salón de los Embajadores or the Sala de las Dos Hermanas. The Generalife, the summer residence of the Nazarite Monarchs, is also located on this hill, along with the Palace of Carlos V. It is a Renaissance-style building, where the visitor can go to the Provincial Fine Arts Museum and the Alhambra Museum. The first cherishes an important collection by 16th century artists, such as Alonso Cano and Machuca. The latter has an excellent collection of the Muslim-Hispanic art of Granada.
The Albaicín quarter, with a deep Arab flavour, is located on another one of the city's hills. Narrow and steep streets are filled with cármenes (traditional villas with gardens), old mosques on top of which churches have been erected (San Salvador, San Bartolomé and San José), and little squares like San Nicolás and San Cristóbal. Both these spots enjoy great views over the Alhambra and the peaks of Sierra Nevada.
Between the walls, the Puerta de Elvira and the Carrera del Darro, the Albaicín conceals many surprises. The Arab public baths (El Bañuelo); the Mudejar decoration of the Convent of Santa Isabel la Real; the Renaissance layout of the Cordova Palace and the convent of Santa Catalina de Siena; as well as the impressive façade of the Royal Chancery are just a few examples.
The highest part of the hill is taken up by the district of Sacromonte, which is the ideal place for seeing the cave-houses of Granada, the zambras (flamenco dancing) and the Chapel of Santo Sepulcro.
we strongly recommend car hire to discover granada.
