The beauty of Granada has been written in many occasions. The astonished Catholic Kings after conquering the city, the emperor Charles the Fifth who wanted to make Granada the capital of his kingdom and the romantic travellers in the XIX century. And it is not strange, due to its monuments, its streets, squares and fountains with an strong moorish taste and the view of the Alhambra surveying the city.

Granada is a city of water: Its two rivers, Genil and Darro, its fountains in courtyards and gardens, aljibes and acequias. The water that comes down from the snow in Sierra Nevada spreads all over the city, creating enchanting gardens like the ones in the Alhambra and the Carmen de los Mártires, where our senses will enjoy the sounds, smells and landscapes. The Alhambra was the residence of the Nasrid kings. Beautiful moorish palace where architecture and nature are joined to create a real paradise on earth. Palaces, gardens, fountains, towers, walls, altogether wisely combined with the Sierra Nevada on the background, to create one of the most beautiful monuments in the world. Its visit is absolutely compulsory.

And it is not only the Alhambra. Granada has many other monuments, eclipsed many times by the Alhambra, that make it worthy to spend some days at. The Cathedral and the Royal Chapel, the San Jeronimo and La Cartuja monasteries, the moorish palace from Daralhorra, and the moorish houses in El Chapiz...are some of the many monuments that embellish the city.

The two more tipical quarters in Granada are the Albayzin and the Realejo, with strong moorish and jewish reminiscences, narrow streets, white houses, beautiful panoramic views. In these quarters we will find the tipical house of Granada: the Carmen, where the house gets mixed with the garden and the orchard.

But Granada is not only its old quarter. It is also a modern city, with uncountable commerces. As an universitary city, with one of the biggest universities in Andalucía, the local offer for night fun is very ample and varied. Granada is got everything: beauty, culture and fun.
