🌸 Granada, Spain — The City of Dreams and the Alhambra

Granada is a city where history and poetry meet under the shadow of the Sierra Nevada. With its Moorish palaces, whitewashed streets, and vibrant flamenco soul, it’s one of the most magical places in Andalusia.

1. The Alhambra 🏰
A breathtaking palace complex that captures the essence of Moorish art and architecture. Wander through intricate courtyards, marble fountains, and lush gardens of the Generalife. Book your ticket early — it’s the heart and soul of Granada.

2. Albaicín Quarter 🌿
The old Moorish district filled with narrow lanes, whitewashed houses, and hidden patios. Walk its winding streets for glimpses of the Alhambra from unexpected corners.

3. Mirador de San Nicolás 🌅
The most famous viewpoint in Granada. From here, the Alhambra glows golden against the Sierra Nevada mountains — especially stunning at sunset.

4. Sacromonte Caves 💃
Home to Granada’s flamenco tradition, these cave houses carved into the hillside are full of life and rhythm. Stay for an evening performance — it’s passionate and unforgettable.

5. Granada Cathedral ⛪
A grand Renaissance masterpiece at the city’s center. The nearby Royal Chapel holds the tombs of Queen Isabella and King Ferdinand, key figures in Spanish history.

6. Carrera del Darro 🌸
A romantic cobbled street that runs alongside the Darro River, lined with old bridges, flowers, and charming buildings. Perfect for a quiet morning walk.

7. Tea Houses and Bazaars 🫖
Granada’s Arabic heritage shines in its *teterías* — cozy tea houses with mint tea, sweets, and calm music. Explore the Alcaicería market nearby for colorful souvenirs and crafts.

8. Plaza Nueva ☕
The lively heart of the city, surrounded by cafés and shops. A great spot to rest between sightseeing or enjoy a casual tapas lunch.

9. Tapas Culture 🍷
In Granada, tapas often come free with your drink. Try local favorites like *berenjenas con miel* (fried eggplant with honey) and *jamón ibérico*.

10. Sunset from San Miguel Alto 🌇
For a quieter, more panoramic view, climb up to this hilltop viewpoint. The whole city stretches below you — glowing softly as the day fades.

Granada feels timeless — a city of echoes, light, and poetry that lingers long after you leave. ✨
