Watch out for pickpockets!

Beautiful architecture - first went there as a teenager and the memory of the snow capped mountains in the distance as seen from the ampitheatre has stayed with me forever - breathtaking...

This is a great place to get a taste of the fascinating and often very turbulent history of the region, and indeed Spain as a whole. Granada was one of the key Moorish strongholds during the long Islamic occupation of the southern Iberian peninsular. The most important buildings from that period are grouped together in an enclosed area called the Alhambra ; highlights include the Casaba (castle) and several palaces influenced by both Moorish architecture and the later Catholic styles post 1492. Once you have visited the main historical attraction, which is situated on top of a strategic hill, then head on down into the maze of streets and alleyways which make up the old town. There are some great places to sample the local cuisine, especially the Tapas bars - But be warned many landlords do not speak English and if your Castilian Spanish is not up to much then you may have to get by in French! But once the food arrives then all the effort of walking around the sites will be made truly worthwhile, all food is freshly prepared and there are sure to be things to please all travellers.

One of the most beautiful cities I've ever been to!! Totally worth it! And specially with your partner, it's very romantic!

The Alhambra is so stunning, go for a ticket that allows you to visit over two or three days. Visit at different times of the day to appreciate the 'rooms' in the early or late sun. Don't forget the Generalife gardens.

for great tapas, they come free if you buy drinks, go to "la bella y la bestia" (beauty and the beast) and order a drink, the portion you get is huge, especially if you are going in group, two drinks and you will no longer be hungry

visit the arabian part on the hillside and explore the small alleyways with its waterpipe-lounges!

Cuidad muy linda, la parte vieja es como estar en el pasado, si van en invierno no se pierdan Sierra nevada

The garden of the Alhambra are just unforgettable!!
