about granada

Granada is a lively university city located at the snow capped peaks of the Sierra Nevada in Andalusia, Spain. Granada's cobbled streets are filled with artisan shops, and plenty of terrace bars where you can listen to live music, and experience Spanish tapas and discos.

The Alhambra, a famous Moorish citadel and palace, is in Granada. It is the most remarkable item of the Muslim, Jewish, and Christian historical legacy that makes Granada a hot spot among cultural and tourist cities in Spain.

Although many Muslim buildings were destroyed by the Christian era in Granada those that are remaining make the most complete group of moorish housing architecture in Europe. Palaces like Dar al Horra, or Alcazar Genil, or houses like the house of the Horno de Oro, the house of Chapiz, or the house of Abén Humeya, are oly some of the most famous. Public Baths Like El Bañuelo or Alhambra Baths, and the complex of arab public fountains and wells (aljibes), are unique in Europe.

Only a 40 minute drive from Granada is the ski resort of Sierra Nevada. At 2100m this is one of Europe’s highest resorts.
