‘Unique architectural masterpieces astound in Granada and Córdoba’ Granada Granada is a popular tourist destination among the cities of Spain, and I was keen to explore it. Famous for its Alhambra – a Moorish citadel and palace – and conveniently located at the foot of the Sierra Nevada mountains, it was only one hour inland from our route along the coast. Its history goes back to 5500BC and vestiges of Roman occupation can still be found. Jews and gypsies have also left their legacy but the most influential culture in this region was that of the Islamic rulers who occupied the area for more than 700 years, leaving a wealth of Spanish-Islamic art and architecture. From the top of the tallest tower in the citadel of the Alhambra we had great views across to the city and the Cathedral of Granada.
