Granada

Granada is where the Moorish past refuses to fade, a compact city of narrow cobbled streets, whitewashed walls, and the unforgettable Alhambra rising above everything else. Perched on the edge of the Sierra Nevada, it carries the layered history of al-Andalus in its architecture, its light, and the quiet dignity of its plazas. It is intimate enough to walk end to end in an afternoon, yet rich enough to pull you back for weeks.
