Andalusian heritage and Renaissance architectural treasures

Andalucia Tour ~ Granada (Region) At the foot of the Sierra Nevada Mountains, between the Darro and Genil rivers, lies one of the most interesting cities in eastern Andalucia. This impressive Andalusian heritage blends with Renaissance architectural treasures and the most modern 21st century facilities. Granada has a distinctly Moorish flavour, as it was the last city to be reconquered by the Catholic Monarchs in 1492. Fountains, belvederes and “Cármenes” (houses surrounded by gardens typical of the city) create a pleasant and memorable neighborhood. Not surprisingly, one of its historic districts, the Albayzin, is listed as a World Heritage Site along with the Alhambra and Generalife. It was an important cultural centre for many centuries under both Islamic and Christian rulers and still boasts an admirable array of cultural and leisure activities. #2024TravelReview #SpainTravel #Andalucia
