Granada, the Most Beautiful City in Spain?
Granada perhaps represents the Spanish dream. A city for all ages, there are several monuments that have to be seen to be believed. This includes not only the magnificient Moorish Alhambra, but also lesser known monuments such as the Monastery of Cartuja. In addition to the cultural and historic aspects of the city, Granada is also a great city to stroll around. The city center has modern shops in addition to great night life. There are a lot of tapas bars and top class restaurants for you to enjoy. You should definitely visit St. Nicholas which offers an amazing view of the city and I think is one of the most romantic sites in Europe. Enjoy the fine details (Mosaics!!) of this city in this new photo series!

One of my class fellow belonged to this city.He always spoke about some history related to their home city. Glad to see the pictures of this city.
I've never seen pictures of this city before. I absolutely love the architecture on the walls and columns. Really beautiful.
the amount of time it must have taken to achieve such detailed patterns and architectural magic. impressive.
Definitely impressive. I would love to see the artists who did the patterns in person. That would be such an amazing experience to witness their talent firsthand.
Well done great words .. Thank you

Absolutely stunning, I love Spanish architecture.
How many times have you visited Spain?
Awesome. I have a plan to visit Granada on August. I'm looking forward to going to Spain.
If you have any question about Granada, let me know! I live here :)
We stayed at a beautiful boutique hotel called El Ladrón de Agua (“The Water Thief”). It has maybe 15 rooms, and I think we saw one other couple the whole four days we were there. It’s in a great location, with views of the Alhambra at the top of a hill. It’s on a cobblestone road next to a creek with ancient bridges. It was our favorite stay in Spain. Also, you should go to the nearby and dreamlike Arab baths. Opt for a massage and personal bath if you want to feel quite possibly more pampered than you ever have.
Edit: the rooms at the hotel don’t have numbers; they’re named after lines of poems by Federico de Lorca. I believe the building is several hundred years old, a former mansion. It’s pretty modernized and updated, though. One nice touch I remember is complimentary sherry in the library each evening (ooh la la!). I just looked up the prices, and they’re damned reasonable (by US standards, anyway, and for what you get) but of course your budget might vary, and the rates might fluctuate seasonally.
Also saw an amazing, authentic, intimate flamenco show in a cave. Don’t remember much about how you might find it, but it’s run by an older formerly-very-famous flamenco Queen. We found it by asking our excellent concierge.
Amazing architecture!!!!
Agreed, spanish architecture just looks like the Mediterranean summer
