Introduction

They say that if you only ever see one city in Spain in should be Granada. The writer Washington Irving was reminded of "Arabian nights" by the beauty and magic of the enchanted Alhambra Palace and the whole Moorish air of the city. You can get wonderfully lost in the maze of streets in the old Albaicin, catching fantastic glimpses up to the palace as you walk along the Río Darro. The bazaars around the cathedral are as colourful as any in Morocco and in the majestic building of the Capilla Real you can find the simple tombs of the Catholic Kings, Isabella & Fernando. Granada has a unique atmosphere within Andalucía that stems from it being an independent Moorish kingdom for nearly 300 years after the rest of Spain and been taken back by the Christians. Restaurants and tapas bars offer a delicious mix of Spanish and Moroccan cuisine, and authentic flamenco can be enjoyed in bars owned by some of Andalucía's top musicians.
